A significant achievement for teachers, students & the system. Thank you to all @TeachersFed members!
A solid opportunity to attract & retain the teachers we need across all schools and a genuine means to addressing teacher shortages. ✊🏾👏🏾

More than 20,000 teachers have sent a strong message to the premier about the need for real action on workload and salaries. Are you listening, @Dom_Perrottet? #MoreThanThanks #HearOurVoice

[Vic Rawlings @Vic_Rawlings]

To suggest that the @TeachersFed is not representing the genuine concern, overwork and frustration of all teachers right now is just wrong. Look at these numbers, these signs, and ask the teachers you know how they are. This needs to change. #morethanthanks

[Vic Rawlings @Vic_Rawlings]

She’s not alone. Teachers are facing innumerable challenges with staff shortages, a lack of resources and blow outs in regulations and reporting requirements. We need to stop blaming teachers and begin a genuine system overhaul. https://t.co/UWwpkZSFFW

The teacher on the right is my partner, Kirsty. She’s an on-class assistant principal who works, on average, 60 hours a week, 48 weeks a year, dealing with incredibly complex challenges. Like those next to her, she deserves better pay and conditions, definitely #morethanthanks

"I can’t replace staff who are sick because there are no casuals. I have to put all students together in one class or call off school altogether." @DyonneAnderson #MoreThanThanks #HearOurVoice

[NSWEducator @NSWEducator]

Teachers deserve #morethanthanks
The message is clear - our students need teachers who are given the time, respect and remuneration to do their jobs! @TeachersFed

“The Premier thinks the answer is performance pay… Well let me tell you, Mr Perrottet, teachers are performing over and above the call of duty. They are just not getting paid.” @AGavrielatos #MoreThanThanks #HearOurVoice

Tomorrow is about teachers, students and the future of our profession. Let’s make it too loud to ignore.

Multiple classes split every single day, specialist teachers pulled off programs they have worked on weekends and evenings to develop, our most vulnerable students left without the 1:1 support they need. Stop telling us you’re disappointed @smitchellmlc We’re beyond that now

[Jowen Hillyer @tareepoetry]

Oh Sarah Mitchell”last things our kids need is another day out of the classroom “…ummm what do you think is happening NOW with the shortages? 70 kids, one teacher in the library,set and forget HSC classes and extra upon extra. Your JOB is to secure the best educational outcomes

[Allison Wong @AllisonRainbow]

Cuts a bit close to the bone. https://t.co/677AsBkLpD

[Teachers Federation @TeachersFed]

1 in 8 teachers now leave the profession within 6 years because of the pay and workload pressures. That’s why the NSW Teachers Federation is asking for a much needed pay rise. Because without great teachers, our kids don't get a great education. #MoreThanThanks

How good are public libraries? I’ve been using @BurwoodLibrary a LOT this lockdown. Mostly audiobooks through @BorrowBox but today we did Click and Collect for some picture books. Totally contactless. Marvellous @BurwoodCouncil

[Allison Wong @AllisonRainbow]

We’re celebrating #naidoc week in the Library with lots of amazing books on display for borrowing. Looking forward to sharing stories with Jasmine Seymour on Wednesday @LidcombePS
