The 2024 NEA-NH Fall Instructional Conference is open for registration!
We can’t wait to see you and collaborate with you at another NEA-NH Fall Instructional Conference, a tradition for New Hampshire educators for almost 170 years! This year’s conference features a wide range of workshops centered around WELLNESS IN THE CLASSROOM: emotional, intellectual, mental, and physical health starts for students in the classrooms, where they spend the majority of their days. Our staff in all areas of the school (and on buses, the front office, and afterschool programs) deserve health and wellness too! We offer many workshops that will assist you in understanding and communicating with students, improving your mental health and supporting theirs, and managing your classrooms from a state of chaos to a state of calmness.
We are pleased to again offer the full-day certification in Stress Reduction for Teens through Mindfulness: Small Changes that Make a Lasting Impact, taught by ChildLight Education Company. And this year, we will offer two keynote choices for the Opening Remarks segment. Choose between hearing more about the upcoming 306 Rules, changes to the minimum standards by the NH Department of Education that will affect all educators; or you can choose to learn about Radical Self-Care: The Foundation for Connection with trauma-informed expert Kellie Doyle Bailey. She will also teach three follow-up classes throughout the day.
Please share the event link with your fellow union members. REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Sunday, September 29.
