One United Profession

On December 9, 2021, Alberta’s minister of education announced a plan to remove the Alberta Teachers’ Association responsibility for teacher discipline. This decision will dramatically change the culture of the teaching profession and public education in Alberta.
A united Association establishes a culture of professionalism and collegiality that focuses on what’s best for both students and teachers and includes:
  • a teachers’ union that views issues through a professional lens, not solely that of teachers’ interests and union responsibilities;
  • principals as professional colleagues and instructional leaders, not managers; and
  • principals and teachers working together to improve practice through support and guidance, not a system hampered by adversarial conflict between union and management.
