Attended the CTF/FCE Board meeting with Angela Banda, STF Exec Director, this week. At these meetings we discussed issues in public Ed, such as recruitment and retention, violence, and class complexity. Each context is unique, but we have much to learn from each other. Solidarity is our strength!

Third party presentations provide valuable learning opportunities for students to hear from experts. Regardless of a teacher’s comfort on a subject, third party presentations are opportunities that help reinforce instruction and build community connections.

The Charter of Rights is foundational to 🇨🇦's democracy & national vision of fairness & due process. Decades of cases have confirmed its value to labour rights. Danielle Smith takes a big step toward authoritarianism, tossing it aside for fiscal & political convenience. #canlab

Walked the line to support striking postal workers in Saskatoon. I encourage everyone to visit a picket location, speak with a postal worker to learn more and add your voice to their calls. Together we can protect workers' rights and our public services.

It is fuel good day at Co-op locations across Sask, so be sure to fill up those tanks... and also send a letter to your MLA to remind them that they could just properly fund education so that schools wouldn't have to rely on fundraisers and business donations.

It was a beautiful day to celebrate music education. Thanks Sask Music Educators’ Association for inviting me to join you in Wascana Park. During the event, government and business representatives shared the value and importance of music education and their own personal connections to music.

I know that #educationworks to help children achieve their dreams, but schools and classrooms need more support and resources to address the growing populations and diverse challenges, and that starts with investing in Public Education.

SSBA is pointing to the new PCBA as the cause for the teacher shortage in SK, but over the last decade more teachers have been leaving the profession because of the lack of support in schools and classrooms. It isn't a shortage of teachers, it's a shortage of safe and supported classrooms.
New agreement causing teacher shortage in school divisions, SSBA says
New to the collective contract is “Article 17,” which outlines how many additional teachers a school division must hire to address classroom complexity.

Happy first day of school!
Like parents, teachers have high hopes for their students' success. While the addition of 500 class complexity teachers is a step forward, it's just a start. The Sk Govt would need to invest another $385M this school year to restore funding to 2015/16 levels.

📚 50M teachers short.
We have the blueprint. 59 UN recommendations to fix this.
Let’s raise the status of teachers:
✅ Fair pay

Hi! I’m excited to join the conversation here and share updates on public education in SK! As the STF President since 2022, and as a mom of two, I care deeply about public ed. Prior to 2022, I taught high school math, and saw the impacts of increasing class complexity and chronic underfunding.
