Educator Sessions
The LRC-South, a project of the NJ Department of Education, Office of Special Education, offers a variety of work session opportunities for professional educators related to inclusive education. Sessions can be held at the LRC-South with direct access to library resources and production services, or at your school/district.
Session dates, times, and topics may be limited based on LRC-South staff's availability.
Please review the options listed below to determine the session type that best fits your needs and then complete the LRC-South Educator Session Request form.
Educator Session Options
Self-Directed Work Session / Room Reservation at the LRC-South
Educational professionals, NJDOE partners, Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) from local schools, and Community Based Instructional (CBI) groups are invited to schedule time for their group to work at the LRC-South at Rowan University with direct access to the LRC-South training room, library, and production services.
These sessions are designed and directed by the group, PLC, or CBI instructor with a specific goal or training in mind. LRC staff are not responsible for the planning, facilitation or supervision of the session. LRC-South staff will be available to assist with library resources and production services as needed.
Educator Training Session at the LRC-South
Groups of five (5) or more educators from an individual school or district are invited to schedule time for a structured training session at the LRC-South at Rowan University. During this time, LRC-South staff will lead an educator training session for 60-90 minutes. Educators would then have additional time to utilize LRC-South resources and production services.
In School/District Training Session
Administrators from an individual school or district may request an in-district training session conducted by the LRC-South. This session will be presented to school staff and will occur at a school or district location. A virtual option may also be requested.
