The National Council for the Social Studies provides "leadership, service, and support for all social studies educators." This organization was founded in 1921 and has members in all of the states along with 69 foreign countries. The NCSS represents all the school grades as well as college and university faculty. The website provides teachers with resources that can be used in the schools. There is a teachers library that contains a collection of classroom activities, teaching ideas, and articles on U.S. History. It also provides a resourse for women's history month along with Election Resources. Overall this seems like a valuable organization that can be very beneficial to social studies teachers. They have good resources that many teachers can take advantage of. I wasn't aware that there were organizations designed to help and promote specific school subjects. I would like to find more organizations that can be of use to me when I start teaching myself.
