Teacher Mentor Network

The Indiana Retired Teachers Association (IRTA), Indiana Retired Teachers Foundation (IRTF), and IDOE have partnered to create the Teacher Mentor Network (TMN). This network will offer assistance in alleviating some of the stress and angst that has been caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on education.  

By clicking on this link, educators and parents will be connected to a member of the IRTA. Your connection will offer wellness support, curriculum suggestions, tutoring, cookie recipes, and, most importantly, an ear when you need it.
