NSW TEACHER TASK: Teacher Accreditation Bill Amendment 2021

Following on from our Zoom last night in regards to the Teacher Accreditation Bill Amendment 2021; the bill that Education Minister Sarah Mitchell is trying to pass through – we need everyone to write to their local state MP and their schools suburb local state MP! Yes again!

This advice came to us direct from the NSW Governors office!

CC in the email; Mark Latham and Sarah Mitchell so they receive the noise as well. Call all the offices of where you send your letters to make sure they received it.

There is no template this week. You need to write from the heart. Only a few paragraphs and address the following points:

- The impact that the bill may have on your future status as an educator.

- The impact the bill may have on our students? You could address this from a concerned parent point of view.

- The impact the bill will have on the education system if they have the power to accredit anyone.

At the end of the letter, you need to ask that this is re-addressed in Parliament and vague terminology is defined and clarified.

Here is a copy of the Bill to help you write your letter;

ALSO as explained in last night's NSW zoom if you're on approved leave (annual, sick, lwop, etc) you should NOT be contacted at all.

If you are receiving any correspondence you must push back and ask them to stop harassing you while you're on approved leave. It's time we start standing up for ourselves!
