NJASA is committed to the self-development of our members to achieve the goals of professional and personal development. Your Association also understands that the foundation of professional development is a self-directed and self-driven process designed to enhance the knowledge, skills and values of administrators, along with a formal recognition of achievement.
To that end, NJASA has designed a comprehensive professional development One-Day Seminar Program. Workshops addressing various important topics will be offered virtually, via Zoom, from 9:15 a.m. to 12:00 noon on eight different dates during the school year.
