The first-ever in-person NPTNJ Faculty Meet & Greet brought new and returning faculty together to connect, collaborate, and share strategies for supporting novice teachers. Through interactive activities and meaningful conversations, including our “Bumpy Sticks” activity, faculty reflected on the challenges new teachers may encounter and explored ways to strengthen their support. The event also helped foster collaboration, the sharing of best practices, and a stronger sense of community among NPTNJ faculty.
