Webinar Description
The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) Office of Kindergarten to Third Grade Education is pleased to extend an opportunity for new instructional coaches of Grades K-3 to be part of the 2024-2025 virtual statewide Coaching Consortium. This opportunity will give instructional coaches the chance to network with other instructional coaches around the state and to attend professional development. This consortium is intended for all instructional coaches who provide support in coaching for teachers in grades K-3. These sessions will enable instructional coaches to share ideas, to investigate best practices and to exchange developmentally appropriate K-3 resources. The same registered instructional coach is encouraged to attend all three virtual series professional development sessions.
