As a member of CJS/TECI Inc. there are many benefits that you are entitled to. These change from time to time as we work with our sponsors. We hope that you will take the time to get involved in YOUR STATE ORGANIZATION.
SOME BENEFITS:
1. DISCOUNTS from our various sponsors.
2. You own cjsteci.com e-mail account
3. MEMBERS ONLY Live-Chat, where you can “Network” with fellow CJ Instructors from around the state.
4. FORUM for "MEMBERS ONLY" where you can ask question, make comment, or share ideas!
5. MEMBERS ONLY Section, where you will have access to “SHARED” Lesson Plans from your fellow CJ Instructors from around the state.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY IS HERE! You have an opportunity to join a state association made up of CTE Criminal Justice Educators who are officially recognized by the New York State Department of Education as a leading force in promoting professionalism and “best practices” within our career cluster.
We started and continue to be a voluntary “grass-roots” consortium of instructors, for instructors in New York State. This association is not affiliated with any one BOCES and is not mandated by administrators or funding, rather instructors, such as yourself, who have realized that by sharing “BEST PRACTICES” the benefits we would all receive would be real and tangible.
Our area in CTE education has grown dramatically with many new Criminal Justice related programs emerging within the last few years. This trend continues to be extremely promising for our field. We encourage you to take advantage of the networking opportunities and the chance to promote professionalism and increase standards in all our schools by becoming a member.
Membership in our Association will also include a professional membership card and a $25 discount to our Annual Conference. That’s already half of the yearly Fellow membership dues!
Please note that since State Ed. is continuing to support our Association by again agreeing to be present at our Annual Conference, allowing professional development credits, and promoting our group at the National Conference for Law, Public Safety, and Security Programs; your administration should be encouraged to support your participation in CJSTECI. See the below link to the State Ed. website.
