To kick off the new program, the NJDOE is hosting a Principal Learning Network Summer Institute at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) on  Wednesday, July 25, 2018 .

The networking “meet and greet” will provide agencies/organizations access to approximately 60 principals who are eager to learn about to support students and teachers in their schools/districts. Agencies/organizations are encouraged to bring materials and “swag” to share with those in attendance; however, the goal for the event is to share information regarding free resources and opportunities and network (not to sell any products/services).
