NJSELA President's Message

Dear New Jersey Science Educators and Leaders,

On behalf of the New Jersey Science Education Leadership Association (NJSELA), it is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to the New Jersey Science Convention! We are thrilled to have you join us for what promises to be an extraordinary gathering of our state's most dedicated science professionals.

Each year, the proud partnership between NJSELA and the New Jersey Science Teachers Association (NJSTA) brings together a vibrant community of classroom teachers, administrators, and science advocates. While our daily roles may look different, we are united by a single, powerful mission: to inspire and elevate science education across New Jersey.

Whether you are a seasoned district supervisor, a curriculum coordinator, or a classroom teacher, this convention is designed with you in mind. It is our premier annual opportunity to step outside our daily routines and come together to:

● Connect and Collaborate: Forge new relationships, share leadership strategies, and exchange ideas with peers from every corner of the state.
● Discover Innovative Practices: Attend dynamic sessions focused on the latest pedagogical research, phenomena-driven instruction, and the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Science (NJSLS-S).
● Explore New Resources: Visit our expansive exhibit hall to interact with vendors and discover cutting-edge tools, curricula, and technologies for your classrooms and districts.

As science leaders, our most impactful professional growth happens when we learn from one another. The New Jersey Science Convention is the perfect place to recharge our passion, align our instructional visions, and empower us to prepare our students to be the problem-solvers of tomorrow.

Illuminating the next generation together,
​
Lisa Kiel
President
New Jersey Science Education Leadership Association
