The Jackson School District is proud to host a collaborative satellite center for Kean University's Center of Innovative Education at Jackson Liberty High School.
Kean University's goal is to assist the Jackson Township Schools in providing shared professional development services for Ocean, Monmouth, and Mercer counties. The program complements the successful establishment of a Kean University campus at Ocean County Community College.
School districts are invited to send educators to about 30 workshops that are scheduled to take place right here in Jackson. Topics range from technology to literacy to classroom management. Districts may take advantage of many professional development opportunities by utilizing individual workshops or requesting a cost- effective membership plan.
