Standing up for our students

Teachers care about their students. Much of teachers’ work involves setting the conditions for successful student achievement.

Teachers know the conditions that support student success:

  • Smaller class sizes
  • Time with teachers
  • Time with peers
  • Full funding of student supports
  • Safe and inclusive spaces at school
  • Teacher and parent cooperation
  • Access to technology and learning resources
  • A strong curriculum

Teachers advocate for these conditions at every opportunity, learn more about teachers’ advocacy for students.
