Creating positive relationships

Welcome to the second year of NJEA’s Stepping Up. Whether you‘re a new member or a veteran member, this monthly e-newsletter offers strategies for having a successful year.

Be sure to check out this month’s postings on our new member site where you’ll find tips for new teachers and new educational support professionals. This month:

Parents are people too – Effective parent communication

Surviving parent-teacher conferences

Positive communication skills and co-worker relationships

Teach your parents well – things teachers want parents to know

Let parent volunteer groups help you out

And if you’re an ESP member (Educational Support Professional), you’ll want to check out all of the resources on the ESP website on www.njea.org. From the local to the national level, NJEA has led the way for ESP in organizing members, negotiating contract improvements and achieving legislation in all areas of terms and conditions of employment.
