Professional organizations have become an important part of teaching. They connect teachers in the same subject area together at the state, regional, or even national level.
In my research of professional organizations, I found three that I would highly consider joining: NSTA, NAS, and WSTA.
National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) operates on the national level. For students, it costs $34 per year and this price includes one journal subscription. (NSTA publishes multiple journals for each level of science teaching.) They also provide both area and national conferences.
Nebraska Academy of Science (NAS) is exclusively for science teachers in the state of Nebraska. Student membership is $10 per year and allows you access to their newsletter and quarterly conference.
Washington Science Teachers Association (WSTA) costs students $15 per year and is intended to connect Washington state science teachers together. The publish their own journal as well as holding a yearly conference.
