The Problem of School Segregation & What We Can do About it

Friday, September 24, 2021

September 24 is the anniversary of the day federal troops were deployed to integrate Little Rock High School.
Here in New Jersey, 64 years later, we have the shameful distinction of being more segregated by race and class than almost any state of the former confederacy.
Why is this? is it accidental, coincidence? Is it by choice or just the result of a segregated residential market.

Why should we care? What's the harm? And how does it affect me, my family and my community?

What can be done? Are there solutions? What are they and what can I do?


The conference on September 24 will explore all of these questions with facts, data, history and analysis from experts, practitioners and constituency leaders. And it and it will present a series of proposals for legislative action that can powerfully move us in a different direction in New Jersey.

The event will go from 10:00 to 3:00 PM. Lunch will be included. There is a fee of $75 to cover costs including meals. Discounts are available for members of affiliated organizations, sponsors and students.

Racial segregation in schools is a structure and a system made by people that can be dismantled by people. It is more than just residential segregation and it harms more than just those who are segregated.

It has devastating consequences for the segregated, but it harms us all in a myriad of profound ways, politically, economically and morally, 

Friday, September 24 at 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

2021 NNER/NCCPEP ANNUAL CONFERENCE

2021 Annual Conference welcoming educators committed to school-university partnerships,

clinical practice, and education in a democracy.

About This Event:  On the heels of a global pandemic, worsening climate crisis, and a broader realization of systemic racism, we return to a semblance of pre-pandemic activities yet find we are surrounded by new, emerging questions. Co-hosted by the National Network for Educational Renewal (NNER) and the National Center for Clinical Practice in Educator Preparation (NCCPEP), our 2021 Annual Conference invites all educators to gather again to share common space affirmed by a common purpose. We’ve chosen to not flee from the harshness but to turn to our schools, universities, organizations, and communities and be honest and “open” to the courage and morality integral to the teaching profession.

Wednesday, November 3rd – Friday, November 5th, 2021
