On behalf of the New Jersey Science Convention Steering Committee, we welcome you to the 49th Annual science convention. The convention has a history of providing science teachers in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania with professional development over the course of two days. Our goal is to provide a variety of sessions addressing K-12 three dimensional/NGSS lessons in all science areas.  Sessions will focus on lessons that integrate new technologies and demonstrate methods of creating culturally responsive science classrooms that promote equity and inclusion.
 
Please join us for one or two days at the NJ Science Convention and for our Tuesday night Recognition Reception (ticketed event). This year we are pleased to present as our convention keynote speaker Dr. Nicole Davi, Department of Environmental Science Chairperson at William Paterson University.
 
If you are looking for new classroom ideas and strategies or if you are willing to share your successes with colleagues join us and catch the energy of the New Jersey Science Convention.
