Through the QTU Strategic Plan, Council endorsed the Right to Teach/Right to Learn strategy as a vehicle to motivate members to assert their rights.

During the EB6 campaign members from the South Queensland Region developed a ‘Just Say No’ strategy as a professional and industrial response to the Government’s inaction in attempting to resolve the dispute.  This strategy was embraced by members on a state-wide basis and invoked a concept of Assertive Professionalism.

The Right to Teach/Right to Learn campaign will support this concept and assist members in being confident in knowing their professional rights and responsibilities and asserting them individually and collectively at the workplace or on a systemic level.

The concept of ‘Assertive Professionalism’ allows members to regulate their own workload by making individual and collective determinations about how systemic and school based priorities are implemented in their own context without diminishing their important role in the classroom.

Members will need to be cognisant of their rights.

These are broken down into a number of key areas:

  • Professional
  • Industrial
  • Health and Safety
  • School Staffing and resources 

A number of examples of local area campaigns and resources can be found under each of these areas
