I feel that it is important as an educator to be affiliated with organizations that pertain to your field, interests, and passion. In my current position as an Education Coordinator, my responsibility is to provide resources to our teaching staff. The NAECTE is another organization that I can share with them. In order for me to see what all the NAECTE website has to offer; I did have to join and purchase a membership. I choose the student membership at the cost of $45.00 for one year. I am looking forward to seeing the opportunities I may encounter being a member with this organization, as well as the resources. Continue following along here to see my guide in navigating the website and what opportunities arise!
