professional resources:
National Education Association
I subscribe to the National Education Association in order to keep up to date with the news and issues that affect educators. The NEA is an organization that welcomes professionals from early childhood through university professors. The website even has resources for future teachers and parents.
National Council of Teachers of English
I follow the National Council of Teachers of English because I plan on teaching English and becoming a member in a few years. The NCTE is a good place to receive information and resources that pertain specifically to English / Language Arts teachers and the issues they face.
