PSRP
The IFT represents school-related personnel and support staff--teaching assistants, clerks, secretaries, cafeteria workers, bus drivers and more. PSRPs make up the the fastest-growing constituency group in the union. The IFT is officially recognized by the State of Illinois as a provider of professional development courses and workshops for teachers and PSRPs, and is approved to award professional development credits to our PSRP members. Information on training opportunities is available on the web site under the Union Professional Development listing.
