Hello IEA Member! The Illinois Education Association has received a generous grant from the NEA to start IEA Educator Voice Academies across the state. The goal of the EVAs is to identify, elevate and implement effective educational policies that can positively impact our students, our schools and our profession. The statewide EVA steering committee will be selecting and supporting Educator Voice Fellows in every IEA office across the state. Every EVA Fellow will receive an organizing stipend and a micro-credential that could qualify them for local salary advancement based on their local collective bargaining agreement. We are excited to announce that we are accepting applications for Educator Voice Academy Fellows for the 2024-25 school year. Applications will be accepted through May 31, but take a moment to apply now, as we will be starting to reach out to applicants about next steps. Thanks for all you do! Week of Action: Undo Tier 2Next week, April 15-18, we’re joining forces with unions across Illinois in the We Are One Illinois Tier 2 week of action. Get ready to call your lawmakers and make some noise. It’s time to Undo Tier 2! undotier2.org
