Benvenuti!
For more than 22 years ITANJ has been the leading statewide professional association for teachers of Italian. We are a nonprofit group whose mission is to promote the Italian language and culture in New Jersey's K-12 schools through networking, professional development, scholarships and grants, student-centered activities and advocacy.
ITANJ is committed to New Jersey’s teachers of Italian. One of our 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, we encourage networking among our 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 our mission and goals, please join ITANJ today!
