Why watch videos when you can get innovative hands on training? No one becomes a pro just by watching. CustomGuide’s online learning features the industry’s best application simulation and user interaction. Users don’t just watch videos, they click and type their way through the self-directed, self-paced lessons, gaining experience by doing.

The Access Saver is a group discount program especially for IEA members. Use your membership card for discounts at more than 100,000 locations, saving you up to 50 percent on purchases you make every day. Be sure to check back frequently, as merchants are frequently added to the program.

These links will connect you with the Regional Office of Education job sites for all counties outside of Suburban Cook County and 155 school districts in Suburban Cook County.

The Association’s legal advice goes far ­beyond liability insurance and attorneys. Any time you have a question about your employment rights or benefits, ask the local UniServ Director. If you need legal assistance, IEA’s attorneys are the best in the state in employment-related law and school law.
