Welcome Fellow Learning Specialists!
The Northeast Association of Learning Specialists (NEALS) has updated its website to make it easier for you to join us and start networking! We are dedicated to offering independent school learning specialists ever more opportunities to connect while continuing to provide informative and enriching gatherings and conferences at member schools. We look forward to increasing:
- Membership! Thanks to your word of mouth and the addition of Rhode Island schools along with those from ME, NH, VT, MA, CT, & NY;
- Small, regional gatherings to connect and share resources;
- Our April 24th conference with Jerome Schultz at Fay School;
- Sharing our membership directory to ease ongoing connections between members;
- Sharing concerns, job openings, and resources on our private Google Group discussions;
- Sharing the results of our recent, comprehensive Survey of Learning Specialists at Independent Schools throughout the Northeast
All we need more of is you!
We offer several opportunities for you to join in the conversation, choosing your own level of connectedness. To that end, please go to https://old.nealsonline.org/
- To register your membership for this academic year and check out what’s happening, familiar faces on the Board, and member interests. (Please note that our school membership allows you to freely encourage other teachers and administrators from your school to join in the conversation.)
- To follow us on FaceBook to receive updates and resources from fellow members.
- To join our members only Google Group conversations and access all of our archived topics on accommodations and school trends including good IPad Applications recommended by members.
Please join me in expressing warm gratitude to our Board members for their wisdom, diligence, and dedication to helping us all connect and support one another. We so appreciate the efforts of all past and present board members for their service to NEALS’s mission to support Learning Specialists in the Northeast who serve students in grades K-13 in independent schools through networking and collaboration as well as through the development and sharing of appropriate resources for students, families, and independent schools.
Sincerely,
