I was asked to generate a list of professional organizations for educators in PA. This list will become part of the induction resources that Central Bucks SD provides to new teachers. I thought that I’d share the list with you. If I am leaving out anything, please post a comment. I created this list as a Google Doc. It is posted at http://snipurl.com/221pa. If you would like for me to share this document with you, you can sign into your Google Docs account, open the list (http://snipurl.com/221pa), click on Edit This Page (lower right corner), and request an invitation.

This list is also available on my wiki at http://jdorman.wikispaces.com/Organizations and as a published Google Doc at http://snipurl.com/221pa
It will be updated in those places when I add new organizations. Feel free to copy the list to your wikis and web pages.
Thanks Jen – what a resource!!
Absolutely tremendous resource and idea! I will pass it along to teachers in our district.
Hi Jen,
We will share this list with our graduate students. Also, I would include in this list connected events such as NECC, PETE&C, TRETC, etc.
Great list!
I would add National Assocation for the Education of Young Children (http://www.naeyc.org) for teachers K to primary level (younger level too if applicable). There are also local affiliations (PA state affiliation is http://www.pennaeyc.org , and local is Bucks http://www.bcaeyc.org/, and Delaware Valley http://www.dvaeyc.org/ near CB area.)
Learning this is additional to my knowledge. Great idea for sharing it with us. Thanks!
