The NJEA Consortium announces the addition of two additional, unique, and impactful organizations as partners, further strengthening its commitment to diverse, inclusive education.
Cosmic Writers
Founder and Executive Director, Rowana Miller, saw a need for energizing and empowering children to find joy in their English classes through creative writing. Through her non-profit organization, Miller hopes to provide every child with high quality creative writing education through workshops, summer camps, activity books and more! Cosmic Writers is partnering with the NJEA Consortium to provide resources and professional development to educators on how to leverage creative writing across disciplines to explore the mandated inclusive curricula.
Cosmic Writers combines core literacy skills with social emotional learning (SEL) to foster self-expression and writing confidence in students by establishing general guidelines and allowing students to take the reins! Learn more about this organization here.
ALL IN for Inclusive Education
Formerly known as the New Jersey Coalition for Inclusive Education, ALL IN for Inclusive Education shares the NJEA Consortium’s mission of advocating for a society where all individuals are valued and have equal access to education. The organization takes a proactive and collaborative approach when working with schools through their professional development opportunities, counseling and conferences.

On June 6, 2025 join ALL IN for Inclusive Education for an NJEA Consortium-endorsed day of interactive workshops designed to equip you with the tools and knowledge to foster inclusive education in your community. Both Dr. Kim Pinckney and Camy Kobylinski of the NJEA Professional Development and Instructional Issues Division will present a workshop entitled, “Windows, Mirrors, and Sliding Doors: Reflecting Disability, Opening Possibilities in K-12 Education” at the event. Stop by the Consortium Information booth to learn more about our work and this collaboration. Learn more and register here.
