Thought & Action
Thought & Action is a journal published by the National Education Association (NEA) of the United States. The principled mission of the NEA is "advocate for education professionals and to unite our members and the nation to fulfill the promise of public education to prepare every student to succeed in a diverse and interdependent world."
Among its many self-imposed marching orders, the members of NEA believe public education is vital to building respect for the worth, dignity, and equality of every individual in our diverse society. They also believe that every student in America, regardless of family income or place of residence, deserves a quality education. In pursuing its mission, NEA...will focus the energy and resources of ... 3.2 million members on improving the quality of teaching, increasing student achievement and making schools safer, better places to learn.
The NEA publishes Thought &Action and it is a great teaching journal. It is also free to review for those who have such an interest. I have read a sampling of the articles in the recent issues and found them to be on target for those wanting to enhance the quality of their teaching. To read past issues and see whether or not others share your passion for teaching, pick up some new ideas on improving your teaching, etc., visit the following URL: http://www.nea.org/home/1821.htm
