NJEA Convention
2021-11-04 - 2021-11-05
Welcome back to Atlantic City for the 2021 NJEA Convention!
The NJEA Convention provides first-class professional experiences for educators of every job description, whether your work finds you in the classroom, the main office, the school bus, the cafeteria, the front door, the hallways and grounds, or anywhere else where NJEA members serve New Jersey’s 1.4 million students.
This year, there are two ways to attend the convention: in person at the Atlantic City Convention Center or virtually from home. 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.
The 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.
