SUMMARY:Pride in Practice: Building Inclusive\, Supportive Spaces for LGBTQ+ School Communities
DESCRIPTION:Katherine Burke and Pamela Koharchik \nDescription: This community of practice aims to support LGBTQ educators\, staff\, and students. We will offer strategies to support inclusion and diversity within existing frameworks and curriculum\, best practices\, and ways in which the NJEA can support our members. We will tackle topics like vocabulary\, equity\, and inclusion for both staff and students. Our community is both a safe and brave space – encouraging members to be supported and grow in their knowledge. This is not a sit-and-get workshop. It’s a collaborative space to share ideas\, ask questions\, and connect with others who understand the realities of education – while gaining simple\, sustainable tools you can use right away. Come for the ideas. Stay for the connection. Leave feeling balanced\, energized\, and well while also getting tools for the support that you and your students need. \nLearn more about the NJEA PDII Community of Practice here.

SUMMARY:Borders\, Belonging\, and What We Leave Out: Teaching Partition
DESCRIPTION:In many U.S. classrooms\, South Asia is often reduced to a limited focus on religion and Gandhi\, leaving major historical events underexplored. This workshop addresses those gaps by tracing the region’s history from British colonial rule and Partition to its lasting impact today. Participants will engage in meaningful discussions around empire\, identity\, borders\, and belonging\, while gaining a deeper understanding of how these histories continue to shape modern South Asia. \nPresented by NJEA and Empowered Voices.

Participants will leave inspired with practical ideas to promote reading and support access to books for all learners. \nLocation:\n180 W. State Street\nRoom 210\nTrenton\, NJ 08608
