Educators, the one thing you can't do without is...

Those teachers petrified of returning to work - please remember there are kids who literally can’t wait to see you.

[Baroness Mary Bousted @MaryWBousted]

Teachers! The prospect of a new school year is usually daunting, for some challenging. Remember that your work in the classroom with your pupils is what is important. Not data driven targets. You do the most important work possible and your pupils need you.

We’re at @PrideinPlymouth on the Hoe, come and say hello! @plymnut @ATLUnion @NUTonline

Who is predominately responsible for teaching workload increasing? National initiatives 47 % Senior management of the school 46%

[NEU Devon @NEU_Devon]

Check out the Government's workload poster: https://t.co/XcYitMJ3fz Well worth a read!

27,000 teachers chose not to appeal being denied pay progression. They are disillusioned and can't see the point. And yet if they engage with their union and appeal it then there is a high rate of success.

[NEU Devon @NEU_Devon]

45,000- 50,000 eligible teachers didn't get pay progression. 30,000 of these teachers had no indication in advance. @huwt_j worked with members at his school and managed to win them back pay and progression!

[Kevin Courtney @cyclingkev]

@NickGibbUK On the question of school funding. Compared with the last school year England’s schools have 137,000 MORE pupils but: 5,400 FEWER teachers
2,800 FEWER teaching assistants
1,400 FEWER support staff
1,200 FEWER auxiliary staff

[NEU Devon @NEU_Devon]

Increasing teacher pay should not be optional, this leads to a lack of consistency and unfairness.

Parents should have to physically remove their kids from sex education lessons if they want them to opt out, says leading human rights and LGBT+ campaigner @PeterTatchell

@TransDevon Very simply, this does not represent the view of our union as a whole. We have worked hard with out LGBT+ section to develop a toolkit to support members in supporting trans students.
