They deserve our respect, understanding, and protection in the digital world, just as they do in the classroom

Cyberbullying 📱 is an unacceptable reality that impacts not only teachers but also our education system as a whole. Let's take a stand against cyberbullying and create a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for our teachers.

The PEITF stands united with their colleagues in Saskatchewan and extends their support during these tough times.

Parents, texting or calling your children while they are in class can disrupt their learning experience and the classroom atmosphere. Communications should be made during break times or through the school office.📚✏️

We all want the best for our children's education, but during teaching hours, it is crucial to minimize distractions.

🚫📵 Cellphones can be a real problem for teachers, and not just because of students! Parents often text or call their children during class.

Work conditions are not just about workload. It is also about support, respect from students, parents, and employers, and having the right resources to do the job effectively. Let’s work together to improve conditions for our educators! 🍎💪

In a recent survey of 479 teachers, we asked if they have ever considered leaving their profession due to work conditions. The results? 62.84% said yes, 31.73% said no, and 5.43% were unsure.

Beyond feeling "Exhausted" and "Proud," teachers also used words like Drained, Tired, Good, Relieved, Sad, Happy, Excited, and Burnt out to express their range of emotions.

We asked 434 Island teachers to give us one word that describes how they feel at the end of the school year. Here are the most popular responses.

School Staff Appreciation Week celebrates...bus drivers, custodians, admin, assistants, EAs, teachers. It truly “takes a village” to raise our children. Thank you for your hard work in creating a welcoming school learning environment for our students. @dionnetuplin @PSBPEI @PEITF

Let's celebrate our incredible Island teachers!. Their dedication is a cornerstone of a brighter future for all. 🍎💪

These may include but are not limited to listening to children’s problems, supporting them with behavioural issues, and even helping clothe and feed children who need it.

Teacher Appreciation Post! Teachers play many roles in a student's life. They are not only educators; they also support their students in many ways outside of academics.
