I chose this website because Reading Rockets is a national public media literacy initiative offering information and resources on how young kids learn how to read, why so many struggles, and how caring adults can help. This is the best research-based strategies for teachers, parents, administrators, librarians, childcare providers, and anyone else involved in helping a young child become a strong, confident reader. Each URL site has multiple pages of strategies and learning skills.  Another cool thing about this site is that new general education teachers could benefit from what they learn about special needs instruction. Best of all almost all the tools are free on Reading Rockets and professional development courses are available at no cost. Teachers can become interactive on the reading Rockets blog page and share best teaching practices.

I believe all teacher should belong to a professional an organization such this one.

The National Association of Special Education Teachers (NASET) is a national professional association that seeks to meet a critical need for many of America's special education teachers. NASET was established as a professional organization for former, current, and future special education teachers who had no professional organization to call their own.  NASET develops and promotes professional excellence through the support of teachers who provide services to children with special needs.

The membership fee is 59.00 each year (29.50 x 2 payments). The benefits outweigh the membership cost. Here are a few from the membership list of 2 or more.

·    RESEARCH BASED JOURNAL IN SPECIAL EDUCATION (JAASEP - A PEER REVIEWED PROFESSIONAL JOURNAL)

·    POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS ON SPECIAL EDUCATION SUBJECTS

·    PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE HANDOUTS

The National Association of Special Education Teachers (NASET) 
Has always provided an online platform that supplied the resources required for Special Education Professional Development. Over the years, this organization has added   numerous courses, lectures, PowerPoint presentations, resources, and e-Publications. In fact, the sheer volume of content has reached a point where another approach to maximize the primary function of professional development was needed. From this need for a better layout to allow for easier access and use of the website for Professional Development, we have created the NASET Professional Development Program (PDP). Within this area, you will find our suggestions for how to best use the content and separate menu selections broken down in a way that will direct you to the professional development you or your staff need.
