Educating students today isn't just about reading writing and arithmetic. Teachers are teaching the whole child, and dealing with health, mental, and social issues. Educators must also keep up with new technologies.

School Based Services - Red Bank Regional High School has developed a school-based service that meets more than just the educational needs of the child. Thanks to the collaboration of businesses, faith-based organizations and the public schools in Red Bank, most students' needs can be met within the walls of the school. From medical, to mental, to employment, this school is working with the whole child so they can be in a better position to learn.

KIKS - Dunn Middle School in Trenton is involved with a program called Kids Intervention with Kids in School. KIKS is a school-based program that is a nationally recognized substance abuse and teen pregnancy prevention program. Through peer leadership, KIKS fosters self-esteem and encourages constructive decision-making and conflict resolution. This program was developed by the Children's Home Society of New Jersey, a non-profit children's agency, in collaboration with the school districts.

Technology Showcase - The West Windsor-Plainsboro School District holds a science fair at the Community Middle School. The purpose is to showcase students using technology in creative and innovative ways.

AID-NJEA - A 24-hour phone assistance helpline provides confidential peer support and counseling to teachers and other public school employees and their families in times of personal and professional crisis. Developed in collaboration with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ), AID-NJEA is modeled after the university’s Cop2Cop program, which provides similar services to police officers throughout New Jersey.
