Recognize this building? 👀

This was the STF building in 1970, before the third and fourth floors were added!

This photo was featured on the cover of the March-April 1970 issue of the Arbos: The Journal of the STF.

“I only have EA support for 1.5 students. This means sending students home due to there being no EA for them. It is a human right to have access to education. Why not in SK?" -SK Teacher

Students suffer when education gets cut

[Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation @SaskTeachersFed]

Did you know? 👀 For every one psychologist, there are 3,452 students.

While teachers undoubtedly feel the impact of class size and complexity, it is students who are bearing the brunt of government's funding cuts.

A great resource for any fall planning!

#ThrowbackThursday to the Saskatoon Pride Parade!

Although Pride Month is coming to an end, the STF's support for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community is not restricted to one month.

Misinformation like this is why our teachers and students need pride.

Here's a link to the real history of the first pride flag:

What shut down Leduc’s city council meeting last night?

It started with a rambling commentary about chemtrails that literally change gender, the “gay agenda”, police using computers and the male speaker claiming he works with Smith and the freedom convoy…

And then this…

The STF’s report card shows the Government of Saskatchewan is “Not Meeting Expectations” when it comes to funding K-12 education and supporting students. 📝

As the school year draws to a close, send a message to your MLA demanding more for our kids. https://t.co/OIxD1mTNJX

Saying "You have been heard" doesn't mean that challenges facing education are understood.

Make the provincial government listen by telling them how cuts to education affect your family at https://t.co/WhhM1Wq2cg.

[Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation @SaskTeachersFed]

Shifting blame to school divisions for cuts that hurt students means the provincial government is "Not Meeting Expectations" for publicly funded education.

Saskatoon Public Schools are still underfunded by $10.5M.

@StoonPubSchools board chair Colleen MacPherson shared this morning on CBC that the most recent budget means they are not able to provide students all the supports that they can.

What are you seeing in your child's classroom?

Parents and teachers are working together for SK kids. The government needs to work with us by funding solutions to meet the needs of every student.

This is a very big deal; allCanadians (not just teachers) have the right to collectively bargain and that right needs to be respected.

[Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation @SaskTeachersFed]

Northern Lights School Division is attempting to undermine the bargaining process with their teachers.

Northern Area Teachers’ Association and @NLSD113 recently reached an impasse at the bargaining table while trying to reach an agreement. https://t.co/My9muYsfpX

@bobbiteacher @rsgexp @SaskTeachersFed Our folks are loving this. Would love to see STFPL offer this kind of training (&more background on Sask bargaining history) as a primer for new LINC members.
