Mrs. Nowak's Homeroom

Welcome to Mrs. Nowak’s Homeroom!

June 2026 Update!

As I have transitioned into a high school role with the CCEE, I am updating the site to reflect my new journey. Many pages will have been moved into new sections. 


This website is mostly designed to support grades 6–8 using alternate academic standards for students with developmental disabilities. It’s a dynamic and growing resource that’s regularly updated with engaging lessons aligned to Common Core State Standards, Common Core Essential Elements, and Next Generation Science Standards.


Here’s what you’ll find:
  • Adaptable lesson materials for science, math, reading, writing, social studies, and more
  • Universal Design for Learning (UDL) strategies incorporating both high-tech and low-tech options 
  • Clear learning intentions and success criteria tailored to middle school students
  • Ready-to-use resources for families, educators, and specialists

This platform is continually expanding with new content to enhance differentiated instruction. Bookmark this page and check back frequently for fresh updates.
