As you peruse this program you’ll notice nearly 200 workshops are designed for in-person attendees and over 80 additional workshops are designed for virtual attendance. \nThe theme for the NJEA Convention is “Learning. Equity. Justice.” The theme reflects our role in the ongoing work of preparing our nation’s children\, adolescents and young adults for a future we can only imagine and in the generational work of building a just and equitable society. You’ll see the theme reflected in the workshops—especially those gathered under the heading “Inclusive School Culture.” And you’ll find it in the lineup of keynote speakers.

SUMMARY:NJEA Jack Bertolino Summer Leadership Conference (SLC)
DESCRIPTION:Most workshops offer 7.5 hours of training. A longer workshop providing additional hours of training is available for newer presidents and other local officers. \n\n\n\nThere are two sets of three-day programs: \n\n\n\n\nWorkshop I – Aug. 6-8 (Saturday to Monday)\n Workshop II – Aug. 8-10 (Monday to Wednesday)\n\n\n\n\nNot all of the 30 workshops are offered in each workshop period. The workshop descriptions provided on the following pages indicate when any given program is scheduled. To accommodate educational support professional members (ESP) who may wish to limit use of vacation or personal time\, Workshop Number 20 runs from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. \n\n\n\nFor all other workshops\, registration begins on Day One at 1 p.m. The first program\, a “mini-course\,” begins at 4:15 p.m. Day Three ends with a brunch\, which is served at 10:30 a.m. following the final workshop session. \n\n\n\nThis year’s summer leadership conference will take place at Hilton East Brunswick. The conference is dedicated to developing association advocate representatives. Accordingly\, no professional development credit is given for attendance in any seminar. \n\n\n\nHow do I register?\n\n\n\nIf you are an NJEA member\, you are eligible and encouraged to attend this summer leadership conference offering 30 advocacy workshops. You will find topics that will prepare you for your current or future roles\, sharpen your leadership skills and show you how your local can develop to its full-functioning capacity. \n\n\n\nThe purpose of this article is to alert members to this training opportunity and describe the 30 workshop programs available this year\, but to register you need to talk to your local and/or county association president. \n\n\n\nLocal and county association presidents will receive registration brochures with detailed information on the 2022 NJEA Jack Bertolino Summer Leadership Conference. You must contact your local president and consult that brochure to learn more about lodging\, daily schedules\, accommodations for members with special needs\, and registration. \n\n\n\nIf you have a special physical or communication need or other disability that may require assistance or accommodations to permit or facilitate your attendance and participation\, or if you have any questions or concerns about housing arrangements\, please contact NJEA by June 1 at slc@njea.org or at 609-599-4594\, ext. 2270. \n\n\n\nScholarships\n\n\n\nScholarships are available for first-time attendees. See your local and/or county president for more information. \n\n\n\nHealth and safety protocols\n\n\n\nSLC is planned to be an in-person conference this year. However\, during the pandemic\, all arrangements are subject to change in response to public health directives. Current NJEA policy requires that face masks must be worn. In addition\, all attendees are required to show proof that they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or have had a negative result on a PCR test within 72 hours prior to the beginning of the conference. Registrants will be notified of the health and safety protocols well before the conference so necessary precautions can be made to meet the requirements\, if any. \n\n\n\nWhich workshop(s) should I take?\n\n\n\nNJEA offers many advocacy conferences with a large array of workshops. Selecting which to take can be a daunting task. Whether you are currently serving in a leadership position or you have aspirations to become involved in some capacity within your local association\, there are trainings that can help develop and hone your skills. To guide you\, positions within the association are listed on this page\, followed by workshops that would be beneficial to you. You will discover that being an officer is not the only position within your association and there are opportunities to get involved in other ways. Additionally\, we have included a track for those exploring future leadership. Please note that not all of these workshops are offered at the Summer Leadership Conference and may be offered at other conferences throughout the year. These courses are not listed in any particular order and are not mandatory to serve in any position. Not all of the workshops offered at the Summer Leadership Conference are listed\, so please review this menu of workshops before making your selection.

SUMMARY:A.C.C.E.S.S. Model Statewide Conference
DESCRIPTION:KYDS Co-Founders\, Rodney Salomon and Mychal Mills will unite an embodied experience of movement\, mindfulness\, breathwork\, sound healing and transformational self-inquiry with an understanding of the inner work required to create healing-centered and just educational communities. \nAlisha De Lorenzo will lead us through breakout sessions on Positive Deviance. Positive Deviance is a proven framework for addressing and reversing seemingly intractable problems with a strengths-based and hope-filled approach that draws on the wisdom of the community members for the solutions to their community’s challenges. \nThrough deep connection with self and others\, these powerful self-care practices will awaken the healing within each of us that positions educators as the healers of our systems\, schools and communities. Working at the intersection of healing\, trauma and (social justice/anti-oppression)\, we will answer the call to cultivate cultures of wellness. Come as you are\, leave with a renewed commitment to the possibilities of Hope and Healing in education. \nThere is no cost to attend this event. \nBuffet breakfast and lunch will be served courtesy of NJEA. \n\n\n	\n	\n\n		A.C.C.E.S.S.

SUMMARY:NJEA Jack Bertolino Summer Leadership Conference
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 NJEA Jack Bertolino Summer Leadership Conference will offer a broad menu of workshops that equip members to become stronger association advocates. Most workshops offer 7.5 hours of training. A longer workshop providing additional hours of training is available for newer presidents and other local officers. \n\n\n\nIf you are an NJEA member\, you are eligible and encouraged to attend. You will find topics among the 28 workshop offerings that will prepare you for your current or future roles\, sharpen your leadership skills\, and show you how your local can develop to its full-functioning capacity. \n\n\n\nThere are two sets of three-day programs: \n\n\n\n\nWorkshop I – Aug. 5-7 (Saturday to Monday)\nWorkshop II – Aug. 7-9 (Monday to Wednesday)\n\n\n\n\nNot all of the 28 workshops are offered in each workshop period. The workshop descriptions provided in the registration brochure indicate when any given program is scheduled. To accommodate educational support professional members (ESP) who may wish to limit use of vacation or personal time\, Workshop Number 20 runs from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. \n\n\n\nFor all other workshops\, registration begins on Day One at 1 p.m. The first program\, a “mini-course\,” begins at 4:15 p.m. Day Three ends with a brunch\, which is served at 10:30 a.m. following the final workshop session. \n\n\n\nThis year’s summer leadership conference will take place at Hilton East Brunswick. The conference is dedicated to developing association advocate representatives. Accordingly\, no professional development credit is given for attendance in any seminar. \n\n\n\nHow do I register?\n\n\n\nIf you are an NJEA member\, you are eligible and encouraged to attend this summer leadership conference offering 28 advocacy workshops. You will find topics that will prepare you for your current or future roles\, sharpen your leadership skills and show you how your local can develop to its full-functioning capacity. \n\n\n\nThe purpose of this article is to alert members to this training opportunity and describe the 28 workshop programs available this year\, but to register you need to talk to your local and/or county association president. \n\n\n\nLocal and county association presidents will receive registration brochures with detailed information on the 2023 NJEA Jack Bertolino Summer Leadership Conference. You must contact your local president and consult that brochure to learn more about lodging\, daily schedules\, accommodations for members with special needs\, and registration. \n\n\n\nSpecial needs\n\n\n\nIf you have a special physical or communication need or other disability that may require assistance or accommodations to permit or facilitate your attendance and participation\, or if you have any questions or concerns about housing arrangements\, please contact NJEA by June 1 at slc@njea.org or at 609-599-4594\, ext. 2270. \n\n\n\nScholarships\n\n\n\nScholarships are available for first-time attendees. See your local and/or county president for more information. \n\n\n\nHealth and safety protocols\n\n\n\nSLC is planned to be an in-person conference this year. However\, all arrangements are subject to change in response to public health directives. Registrants will be notified of the health and safety protocols well before the conference so necessary precautions can be made to meet the requirements\, if any. \n\n\n\nPricing and payment\n\n\n\nConference costs for all attendees include workshop materials\, self-parking\, organized meals and coffee breaks\, entertainment\, taxes\, and service fees. Pricing for members staying overnight includes hotel accommodations and taxes. \n\n\n\nThe pricing is as follows:\n\n\n\n\n  Commuter – $275 per session\n  Double Occupancy – $325 per session\n  Single Occupancy – $450 per session\n\n\n\n\nSince an additional training occurs in October for Workshop No. 1—Now That I’m President\, What Do I Do?—the costs are higher for it. Pricing for Workskop No. 1 is Commuter – $400; Double Occupancy – $500; Single Occupancy – $675. \n\n\n\nChecks must be made payable to “NJEA/SLC” and returned with registration material to: NJEA Summer Leadership Conference \n\n\n\nc/o WSFS Bank PO Box 13661  Philadelphia\, PA 19101-3661 \n\n\n\nWhich workshop(s) should I take?\n\n\n\nNJEA offers many advocacy conferences with a large array of workshops. Selecting which to take can be a daunting task. Whether you are currently serving in a leadership position or you have aspirations to become involved in some capacity within your local association\, there are trainings that can help develop and hone your skills. To guide you\, positions within the association are listed on this page\, followed by workshops that would be beneficial to you. \n\n\n\nYou will discover that being an officer is not the only position within your association\, and there are opportunities to get involved in other ways. Additionally\, we have included a track for those exploring future leadership. Please note that not all of these workshops are offered at the Summer Leadership Conference and may be offered at other conferences throughout the year. These courses are not listed in any particular order and are not mandatory to serve in any position. Not all of the workshops offered at the Summer Leadership Conference are listed on the next page\, so please review all workshop listings before making your selection.
