Supporting Justice-Impacted Students on Campus

Do you have NJSTEP students in your classroom this fall? Are you interested in learning more about ways to support formerly incarcerated students? Promote self-confidence, self-advocacy, and personal growth through strengths-based interventions described at our SMARTeaching workshop, "Supporting Justice-Impacted Students on Campus." Led by Regina Diamond-Rodriguez, NJSTEP's Director of Transitions, attendees of this workshop will develop a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by formerly incarcerated students, including the stigmas they encounter, the reintegration/reentry process, and the impact of their life experiences on their educational journey.

This workshop will help you foster a safe and inclusive learning environment that promotes trust, respect, and inclusivity, ensuring that formerly incarcerated students feel welcomed, supported and valued. Get ready to shift the focus from deficits to strengths by recognizing the unique skills, talents, and resilience of formerly incarcerated students!
