A great way for teachers to connect with one another is through a professional organization. The science teacher can share thoughts and ideas with other science teachers, the music teacher can share with other music teachers. Being a member of a professional organization will also look good on your resume if you are looking for a job. Organizations offer professional development, conferences, luncheons (
dinners too) and meetings. What a great way to network with other people who are teaching in the same subject area as you. Here's a comprehensive list of those groups:
