Michelle Santiago's Blog Post #4

A website that is great for teachers in general is the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) website. The web address is http://www.aft.org. AFT is a labor union that represents education and healthcare professionals. On the homepage are various links on a specific profession (i.e., higher education, early childhood educators, healthcare, retirees, etc.) and across the top when you click on "teacher" it takes you to a page where there are links of topics that might interest a teacher (tools to help with standard testing, spotlight on books, NCLB, early education, etc.). On the left of the homepage are more links for educators and other professions in general. One is what AFT is all about, another link is about salary surveys, and another is news and when you click on it, it takes you on a page where news articles links are organized by month. They also have a "store" where you can buy AFT apparel/accessories and miscellaneous books and brochures. Check it out :)
