Tai Tokerau PRT Seminar
Thanks to the ten or so PRT's that came to our seminar during the holidays. Most have not secured jobs yet however they are keen on relieving. It was great to network with new teachers. Thanks must also go to Angela Perrin for her sharing of PRT experiences with the group. It was great to have a folder for the group to view & Angela's up-to-date insight provided a wealth of information. I also appreciated receiving a birthday cake on the day. Thanks Jane Marti.

education forum

I think some MPs were surprised at the negative response to National Standards by teachers. Attending the forum were 2 Labour, 2 National, 2 Mana and 2 Greens, we were pleased with the response.
My Year 3 class are working on the elections in our class, amazing when you use the staff at school and split…

Primary Cluster meetings
Whangarei branch hosted three cluster meetings. Unfortunately attendance was low, however we had good discussion about the remuneration and recognition report. The principles helped us focus on what we consider to be important. Concerns about the lack of career pathways and the governments refusal to accept the Practice Based Attestation model were food for thought. However as we lead up to our collective agreement negotiations next year, I hope more teachers share their opinions on the way… Continue
