New Jersey's Core Curriculum Content Standards (CCCS) & Challenging Behavior

The New Jersey's Core Curriculum Content Standards (CCCS) require that students learn an array of skills in the various standards, which can prevent &/or address a number of social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. A number of these resources can be accessed by stakeholders through the CPI hyperlinks below. These CPIs can provide guidance to stakeholders in assessing a student's knowledge and skills and addressing weaknesses with precursor or prerequisite skills. Many of these CPIs also have Framework activities, Vignettes, and Vignettes with adaptations, which can assist stakeholders in addressing many of the social & emotional needs, as well as challenging behaviors our students experience. The below hyperlinked activities can be utilized by stakeholders, including parents, teachers, administrators, counselors, CSTs, school-based intervention teams, and IEP teams to assess student's needs and delineate them in the Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) Statements and prevent and address challenging behaviors. : 

In addition, a number of New Jersey's Framework adaptations for students with disabilities provide vignettes, which can also be utilized to address social and emotional concerns.
