• American Philosophical Association has a Teaching Committee, which maintains a newsletter with teaching ideas.

• The Lilly Foundation hosts a series of regional conferences on new directions in college teaching.  If you are interested in pedagogy, you should definitely attend one of these (and submit a proposal for a presentation on something innovative that you are doing). You'll learn a lot about the interesting new things that are happening, and also get a lot of inspiration for things to do in your own class.

• The Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization (PLATO) is a national organization that advocates and supports introducing philosophy to pre-college students.
