ESP Academy
NJEA is committed to the continued professional development of all of its members. That’s why we created the ESP Career Academy, which will equip ESP members with the skills they need to excel in their diverse careers. Visit: https://www.njea.org/membership/educational-support-professional/
The ESP Career Academy has three components to meet the needs of ESP members.
Part one: Online career development programs
Learn the latest trends in your field of expertise from the comfort of your home. NJEA’s Online Career Development Programs are a convenient way to brush up on your skills on your own timetable. These courses are part of NJEA’s comprehensive e-learning program. Just log into njea.org with your PIN number, or e-mail address, and your password.
Part two: NJEA Seminars and workshops
Let NJEA bring high quality, professional development to your job site. We will work closely with your local association leadership to schedule workshops and seminars. Workshop topics include: Building positive home/school/community relationships, conflict resolution, effective witnessing and report writing, health and safety, nonviolent crisis intervention, PowerPoint, safe schools, and stress management.
Part three: College partnerships
NJEA is partnering with the community colleges of New Jersey to offer on-site career development training for ESP members.
These programs are designed to meet the needs of general categories of ESP members, as well as specific categories of ESP members.
