Alberta is stepping up for teachers and students. Our offer adds 3,000 new teachers in the classrooms and puts a 12 percent salary increase on the table, giving about 95 percent of teachers more pay. A typical Alberta teacher would lead western Canada in regards to salary. We have also committed $1 billion for boards to hire more teachers or education assistants to reduce class sizes, plus an $8.6 billion school build program to add the space families need. This is a generous, ready to deliver plan that puts help into classrooms now. We invite the ATA to work with us so students, parents, and teachers see these benefits this year.

We want the same things as Alberta teachers and parents: More classrooms. More teachers. More pay for teachers. And more educational assistants. This strike has gone on too long and we are extremely concerned about the impact it is having on students. The ATA needs to do what is right for its members, and for all Alberta students.

The government is set to spend £3 billion to expand the number of mainstream schools with specialist learning areas to help students with special educational needs and disabilities. But the school leaders' union say that building more schools is not enough and more should be done to ensure that there are sufficient teachers and staff with specialist training. Kate Garraway challenges School Minister Georgia Gould.

NEW: I asked Education Minister Paul Calandra why he poured public money into ads taking aim at teacher unions, instead of focusing on reaching a deal at the bargaining table. “I will use every means at my disposal to ensure that students, parents and teachers understand what my position is.” More to come from this exchange:

Teachers have been clear that we must deal with growing class sizes and rising classroom complexity. That is why one of our first actions is deploying 476 new complexity teams across Alberta. Each team is comprised of 1 teacher and 2 educational assistants, to allow for more in class support so every student has a better chance to succeed and teachers can focus on strong, focused teaching.

Absolutely spot on! We need more parents to think and act like this when it comes to teachers and administrators, injecting their liberal politics into the classroom. These walkouts are getting out of hand and the indoctrination of our children is unacceptable! OutspokenSamantha

For decades, teachers have spent their own money, and parents have been asked to pitch in, to help purchase materials for classrooms. Our government is changing that. Starting this September, every eligible elementary teacher will have direct access to $750 for classroom purchases. And that’s on top of the classroom supplies funding school boards continue to receive, about $32,000 a year for a typical 500-student elementary school. The bottom line: we’re putting more resources directly into the hands of teachers, so they have what they need to support students in the classroom.

'It's a wider problem.' A survey of 4,000 teachers across England has found 1 in 5 teachers have seen a weapon in school. Headteacher Errol Comrie says more needs to be done by the government and that we cannot expect schools to tackle this issues themselves.

Earlier today, Alberta’s government announced that as teachers and students return to the classroom this week we will be taking immediate action to reduce class sizes and address classroom complexity. We will be appointing a Class Size and Complexity Task Force, who will begin work in three important areas. 1️⃣ Collecting and publicly releasing class size and complexity data, which will help inform which classrooms are most in need of supports and resources. 2️⃣ Implement solutions from the final report of the Aggression and Complexity in Schools Action Team, which will be released soon. 3️⃣ Begin working with school boards, teachers, educational assistants to review and replace the 2004 Standards for Special Education.

This message is for the teachers too afraid to speak and the parents too afraid to lose their jobs. We are your voice. There’s an abuse of power in Alberta’s education system — and just because teachers are back at work doesn’t mean the fight ends here. We owe it to our kids. #BertaProudDad #StandForTheKids #AlbertaEducation #HopeForTeachers

This American needs to lead the Department of Education “This is my audition to become the head of the US Department of Education - My first act of office will be immediately abolishing the No Child Left Behind Act. Yes, we will be leaving children behind. If they fail a class, they will have to repeat it - My second act is one that I'm very passionate about. We will be bringing zeros back. If you don't know, in many schools in the US right now, students receive 40% or 50% if they do zero work, if they do not complete an assignment. And my school included, and many other schools, are not going to be allowed to give a student a 50% if they do not turn in any work. They will have to receive a zero. Likewise, there will be no completion grades, If you just attempt an assignment, that doesn't mean you get a 55%. Like, if you get a 1 out of 10, you earned a 10% on that assignment, and that's okay. Sometimes failing happens, and we don't need to just inflate the grades just for fun. Grades will reflect students' actual performance and understanding of the content - The third one I'm very excited for as well. Teacher evaluations will take place once a year and teachers will be observed by another current teacher from a different school. Teachers would volunteer to be evaluators. They would get a sub for the day, no questions asked, and then they would evaluate objectively. That way the person evaluating you does not know you and does not have any personal bias towards you. Hopefully. - The fourth one, I think this should be common sense, but I hear that it happens all the time at some schools. Never at mine. But teachers shouldn't be expected to work for free. I hear elementary teachers are doing these before and after work things that they aren't getting paid for, like lunch duty or recess duty or pickup duty, whatever it is. The school needs those things covered. People can volunteer for it, and then they have to get paid for it. They can't force you to cover other people's classes for free. They have to pay you extra if they're gonna take away your lunch or your prep or whatever time that is supposed to be yours and then force you to do something without getting paid. There will be no more voluntelling. Hire this woman. The most important thing we need to do is hold students back and force them to learn the work. No more dumbing down out standards

Today we announced 16 brand new school projects in our smaller cities and rural areas across Alberta, on top of 63 already underway outside Calgary and Edmonton. Parents know our classrooms have to keep pace with a fast growing province, and if Budget 2026 is passed it will fund the new spaces we need to reduce crowding now and keep class sizes stable into the future.
