Italian American Heritage Month Salutes ITANJ


Today, we begin our 31 day observation of Italian American Heritage Month by recognizing a very special group in our state.

For more than 22 years the Italian Teachers Association of New Jersey (ITANJ) has been the leading statewide professional association for teachers of Italian. This nonprofit group promotes the Italian language and culture in New Jersey's K-12 schools through networking, professional development, scholarships and grants, student-cent​ered activities and advocacy.
 
ITANJ is committed to New Jersey’s teachers of Italian. One of its principal goals is to help our teachers obtain professional development credits to fulfill state requirements by organizing workshops and webinars featuring experts addressing methodology, technology, materials, Advanced Placement programs, curriculum and assessment.

Additionally, the group encourages networking among its members facilitating the sharing of ideas and information, professional growth and strengthening the Italian language programs in our schools.

If you are a current teacher of Italian, retired, a student preparing to enter the teaching profession, or if you would like to support ITANJ's mission and goals, please join ITANJ today!

Anyone can support the organization by making a tax deductible donation. All donations help fund student activities and scholarship programs.
