About this Event

The 8th Annual New Jersey Diversifying the Teacher Workforce Convening is a conversation among educational stakeholders aimed at creating and sustaining an educator workforce reflective of the cultural and linguistic diversity of New Jersey students.

This year's theme is Expanding the Conversation - Neurodiversity in Policy, Practice, and Pedagogy

This series of meetings is designed to engage stakeholders and constituents and will focus on how we acknowledge the roles neurodiversity and disability education play out in the policies, practices, and pedagogies of P-12 schools and higher education. Proposal submissions from P-12 teacher leaders, professional development directors and providers, teacher affinity groups, PLC leaders, teacher mentors, and higher education partnerships and institutions should investigate and discuss what teacher preparation and development looks like for neurodivergent students and educators. This convening aims to explore the critical intersection of school culture with the cultivation of an informed teacher workforce capable of meeting the needs of neurodiverse teachers and students. In today’s rapidly changing educational landscape, fostering an environment that values and supports diversity among educators is paramount to teacher success.
