NJTV Learning: Teachers Wanted
Each weekday, children throughout New Jersey can tune into NJTV, New Jersey’s public television network, for NJTV Learning Live, which features lessons based on New Jersey Student Learning Standards and taught by New Jersey teachers. The program began airing on Monday, April 6, 2020. Each weekday, NJTV offers four one-hour lessons for grades three through six. Subjects include English language arts, math, science, social studies, and a “special,” such as art, music or physical education.
The NJDOE is seeking New Jersey teachers of grades three through six to deliver an hour long, creative and interactive classroom video lesson from their homes.
