Excited to get started at the 2024 STF Fall Councillors Conference in Saskatoon! @SaskTeachersFed
Keynote speaker Shannon D. M. Moore addresses the teachers on the issues of complexity in public education advocacy.
Teachers honoured outgoing STF Executive Director Bobbi Taillefer with two standing ovations at this afternoon's open forum, thanking her for her leadership and acknowledging her unique career of service to education. @bobbiteacher @SaskTeachersFed

Today we acknowledge and honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 🧡

Getting some excellent professional development from @STFLearning at the @SaskTeachersFed Local Leadership Gathering in Saskatoon.
"Union leaders" gets tossed around by Sask Party as though it implies a disconnect. @STFPresident Sam Becotte & @bobbiteacher Director Bobbi Taillefer just got a standing ovation from the assembled teachers at @SaskTeachersFed Annual Council. #stfcouncil #wearestf #isupportstf
Today, I and hundreds of Saskatchewan teachers represent their colleagues across the province at the 2024 STF Annual Meeting of Council. I'm honoured and enthused to be part of this important work again, today through Saturday. #stfcouncil #wearestf @SaskTeachersFed
On strike with 5000+ STF teachers at the Sask Legislative Building, asking that significant and reliable funding increases for classrooms be part of our collective agreement, not just election year budget promises.

Government's story: We have the highest per capita education spending in Canada
Reality: This is misleading—not everyone in Sk is a student! In per-student funding, we're second-last (and soon-to-be last).
If @jeremycockrill is going to use numbers, he should use them correctly

On my lunch break from chairing Public Accounts, I joined dedicated teachers from Prairie Valley Schools.
Teachers from Southey, Vibank, Montmartre, Milestone, Wolseley, Indian Head, Kelliher, Lumsden, Pilot Butte, and Fort Qu’Appelle were clear: they are fighting for students.
Taking a stand for inclusive education. We can't work magic with dollars we can rely on. #WeareSTF #IsupportSTF @SaskTeachersFed @PrairieValleyTA

We set aside two full days to bargain in good faith with the Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee (GTBC).
Today, they didn't even bother to show up.
Our kids deserve better than not showing up.
Trust teachers. Talk to them. Find a solution with them.

This is an excellent article - my favourite line is at the end with a call to government to trust teachers, talk with teachers and find a solution with teachers.
Today is the day to let teachers know you stand with us in demanding smaller, better supported classrooms. Violence-free schools. Adequate hiring of specialists like educational psychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and school counselors. #ISupportSTF
