NJAPSA is Accepting Applications for a New Special Education Director/Supervisor Cohort.

This initiative is designed to provide new administrators in special education with the skills and knowledge that are critical to success in their challenging, complex positions. Cohorts of eight-to-ten participants are selected each year from educators who have obtained appropriate certification and who wish to expand upon the skills and experiences gained from their initial months in the position.



 
NJLA's Cohort Approach Offers a Broader View of the Educational Landscape.
NJASA, in partnership with NJPSA and FEA with the support of NJDOE, encourages you to participate in the  New Jersey Leadership Academy, a structured approach to professional development for all educational leaders.
