The New Jersey Science Convention is the best professional development opportunity in the Mid-Atlantic area for science educators, including teachers, administrators, and student interns.
This two-day Convention allows more teachers to attend at least one day of activities without burdening the school districts with excessive absence. Each day has over seventy-five sessions of interest to all levels and disciplines in science, as well as over fifty-five vendors of science books, supplies, and equipment.

This has been, and continues to be, the absolutely best PD opportunity that exists for science teachers. As a department chair who also teaches classes, there as so many things to see and learn about at the NJSC! The exhibit hall and the banquet were fantastic as well...
