The conference is a destination where educational leaders from across New Jersey can find solutions to the challenges they face in their school districts. Updates on Workshop 2016 programs are available at the Workshop website.
This year’s theme, “Recognizing the Value of Every Student,” highlights the importance of working together to ensure that every student has the tools he or she needs to achieve and that we value each of their unique contributions in the classroom.

Badge Pilot Program NJSBA is also proud to announce that Burlington, Middlesex, and Union counties have been selected for participation in our on-site badge printing pilot program. Workshop attendees from these three districts will be able to print their own badges at registration outside of Hall D at the Convention Center in Atlantic City using a barcode they receive via email. (Accommodations will be made for attendees who forget to bring their barcodes.)
The on-site badge printing process has worked well for attendees at other statewide conferences and national-level conventions. The goal is to increase efficiency, and provide convenience to Workshop attendees, by streamlining the process.
