I would most likely join the National Science Teachers
Association, because I want to be a science teacher. This organization has
around 55,000 members. It is the biggest organization in the world that is
devoted to encourage excellence and innovation in science teaching and
learning. This society would help me professionally in a number of ways. Having
books and resources is one way this society could help me. The books and
resources available would help me establish performance expectations for my
students. It would let me know what my students should be able to do in the
subject they are being taught. Another way that I could benefit from joining
this society is going to their NSTA conferences. At these conferences you learn
what the latest science content is, and what the newest teaching strategies are. You also
collaborate with other science teachers to learn their techniques of teaching.
Another way that I could benefit from joining this society is getting involved
in the NGSS discussion board. This is an online discussion that science educators
participate in. They discuss tons of things related to science. I think I would
greatly benefit from doing this online discussion, because I could ask questions
if I need help or ideas on teaching.
