Welcome to the
NJ DOE Northern Hub and
Montclair CS ED Hub
We are a professional development office specializing in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Our mission is to provide high-quality professional development events and resources for educators and professionals in STEM fields.
About K-12
The University already offer programs relevant to Computer Science Education for K-12 teachers. We will establish Professional Development Opportunities through our CS Education Hub and our CS for Everyone Everywhere Program. We are also happy to announce two funded NSF programs to help K-12 teachers bring cutting-edge data sciences in solar flare research into their classrooms.
