How can retired teachers stay involved in the teaching profession?
There are a number of ways to stay involved with teaching even after you have retired. Your state may have a Retired Teachers Association, which may offer any number of outlets for your teacher creativity. There are also divisions of the NEA and the AFT that offer retired teachers mentor roles. A vibrant virtual community of educators exists online. They offer message boards and e-mail networks for mentorship programs. These two websites can help you get started: http://teachers.net/mentors/ and http://retiredteachers.net.
