IEA Teaching and Learning

What IEA Teaching and Learning can do for you

The Illinois Education Association created IEA Teaching and Learning to assist IEA staff, members, and local associations in becoming a driving force in school transformation. Mary Jane Morris, Director of IEA Teaching and Learning, has built a network of resources for locals to become a meaningful part of the professional lives of their members.

We provide training to improve teaching and learning and to develop strategies to improve working relationships with your district.  We have developed an effective model for bringing about meaningful change that positively impacts teaching and learning. From individual professional development opportunities to empowering your local association to become a driving force in school transformation.   IEA Teaching and Learning is here for you!
