Delegates have passed the budget with an annual fee set at $1,422 for full time teachers and $213.30 for associate members. #ARA2024

Delegates are debating a resolution that would see the ATA provide a funding framework to support the establishment and operation of diversity and equity networks for members. #ARA2024

It is time Alberta properly funds education. It is time the government sees that its children are the future: economically, politically, and socially. Investment in our students means investment in Alberta’s future. #stoptheexcuses

A resolution that would create an Indigenous Education Initiatives Grant program to support member projects towards fulfillment of Canada's TRCC Calls to Action and the National Inquiry into MMIWG, has passed. #TRC #ARA2024

I am attending the ⁦@albertateachers⁩ #ARA2024 in Calgary. Teachers in Alberta are asking the ⁦⁦@YourAlberta⁩ government to invest in public education. Teachers are overwhelmed. Thank you for your heartfelt stories.❤️

Resolution 3-45 is carried unanimously.

Teachers are sharing passionate and heartfelt personal accounts of their challenges with class size and complexity to show support for this important directive. #ARA2024 #abed #stoptheexcuses
