The Illinois Federation of Teachers

The Illinois Federation of Teachers represents more than 75,000 teachers and paraprofessionals in K-12 schools districts throughout Illinois, faculty and staff at Illinois’ community colleges and universities, public employees under every statewide elected constitutional officer, and retirees. Teachers can visit the IFT's Web site [www.ift-aft.org] for the latest information on your profession, from the AFT’s Education Research and Dissemination program, to back-to-school classroom management techniques, to the impact of HB 452, the school funding and "reform" legislation, on your professional future.
