2023 Professional Development Statement
The New Jersey Science Convention will be hosting its 47th Annual Convention on October 17, 18, 2023 at the Princeton Marriott Forrestal in Princeton, NJ. For the past 46 years this convention has provided professional development to thousands of NJ teachers. We are confident that NJSC 2023 will prove to again be a successful event. As a state convention, the New Jersey Science Convention is the only local science-based professional development opportunity for NJ K-12 classroom teachers.
In alignment with our theme for this year’s convention NJSC 2023: Creating Future Stewards of Our Planet, we have identified several important strands as a guide for prospective presenters:
We also welcome sessions that address the integration of technology and the latest information on the NJ Science Learning Standards and classroom resources.
In addition to presentations by experienced classroom teachers, NJSC 2023 will also host presentations by the NJDOE and college professors along with national speakers and presenters. The unique venue provides a level of interaction that allows teachers to connect with colleagues from schools all over New Jersey and maintain ongoing collaboration. In alignment with NJSLS-S/NGSS, the NJ Science Convention provides K-12 science teachers with professional development that supports the type of science teaching needed to prepare students for a competitive global society.
The members of the NJ Science Convention Steering Committee encourage districts to support their teachers by providing the opportunity for them to participate in NJSC 2023. We hope to see you in October!
If you have any questions, please contact either of the Executive Co-Chairs.
Sincerely,
