In 2026, JerseyCAN will work toward the following four policy goals to strengthen the education system in New Jersey:

After passing a comprehensive package of literacy reforms over the past three years, JerseyCAN will focus on implementation and that districts are following both the letter and spirit of the law.

JerseyCAN will revise the New Jersey Student Learning Standards in mathematics to establish math pathways that include data science, calculus and classes that prepare students for higher level coursework.

JerseyCAN will ensure that students who are below grade level in reading or math will be provided with access to a high-impact tutor.

JerseyCAN will increase funding and training opportunities for literacy coaches alongside other supplemental literacy reforms.
