| Check out the organizations that Stephanie think are just GREATTT! |
The national and federal organizations or communities of practice that appealed to me were the following:
NEA (National Education Association) I like NEA because the website offers a Q& A section where I can ask Kate Ortiz questions about classroom management. (I may need to add this to my COP).
NASET ( National Association of Special Education Teachers) I found this website to be a great resource for some of my peers who are focusing on Special Education. There were also helpful classroom procedures that can tie into classroom management.
National Center for Education Research: This website offers different research topics. I was able to find one on effective teachers and effective teaching that led me to a number to call or email Dr.Ying Chow of the education.
*All of these websites offer such great resources that can be used to add validity to our research. I enjoyed reading the information that the websites posted for our enjoyment!

Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteYou picked some great national organizations. I have familiar with the NEA website and have visited it many times for different things. I see that you are interested in instructor positions. My undergrad degree is in Adult Education with a specialization in Communications. Now that I am getting my masters degree in Early Childhood Studies, that gives me a expertise in which to begin to instruct. One of the things that limits me is that I do not have teaching experience in early childhood, but I do have it in elementary education. At some point, I want to be able to teach at a community college.
Andrea,
ReplyDeleteI want to teach at a community college as well! I have experience in early childhood and a few years in elementary education. I think that teaching adults will be interesting!
Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteYou have chosen great organizations for possible places of employment. I too am interested in the National Education Association and their promotion of high-quality learning opportunities for children birth to age 5. I actually do not know much about the National Association of Special Education Teachers, but I am definitely going to read more on this organization. Thanks for sharing.
