NJPAC Launches Virtual Professional Development Classes

NJPAC's Arts Education launches a variety of virtual professional development classes online. There is a range of live cast workshops that can inspire, educate, and reinvigorate one's teaching strategies! NJPAC is offering 4 two-part workshops that are facilitated by content experts and master teachers that immerse the student in a collaborative, online environment with their peers.

Thanks to the generous support of our Mars Wrigley, Panasonic, TD Charitable Foundation, Turrell Fund, Wolf Trap, and the Victoria Foundation., NJPAC is excited to offer these workshops as a "pay what you can" opportunity.

Comments from participants

"I loved the interaction, homework, Google Drive access to documents used in the training. It inspired me to learn more. I really liked the presenters style. He was fun, layed back and encouraged participation. He made us feel at ease, included and he made it fun. I really enjoyed it." = Early Childhood Educator teaching in Everett, Washington, their first NJPAC PD

"Access to PD like this without having to travel is amazing. I am very thankful for it." - K-12 teacher working in New Mexico, and their first NJPAC PD
