Are you a member of NCSS (National Council for the Social Studies)? That’s a good place to start. I’m not super-familiar with it since I am an ELA teacher, but my guess is that it is fairly similar to NCTE (Nat’l Council of Teachers of English).
Another good source is. This is a site where teachers sell lesson plans, but every teacher has to offer at least one free product.
I just stumbled on an INCREDIBLE teaching resource for grades PreK – 8th grade. It’s called ProTeacher.
There is a board specifically for 8th grade, and one specifically for Social Studies. The resources and people are amazing! I posted a question about my math program and within an hour had several answers posted. It’s free, fast, and open 24 hours!
The boards and chats and blogs and discussions are incredibly helpful, and fun to engage in.

Good luck. Teaching is the best job there is!

Have you ever went to new sites to meet people like or if you need to vent about it?
