Welcome to the Teaching Profession

Every new teacher has a different point of departure and a different destination in mind when their professional journey begins. You will surely have common experiences and collegial relationships to help you find your way. The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation is here to support your early days in the classroom and throughout your career.

The Federation has advanced the interests of teachers and advocated for excellence in public education for more than 80 years. You are now part of a professional organization representing over 13,500 teachers in PreK-12 schools in Saskatchewan, and a trusted and respected leader and partner in education.

Membership grants professional status that comes with responsibilities, rights and benefits. Working together, we represent and advocate on behalf of the collective, while attending to your individual professional aspirations and needs. Every program, service and resource offered by the Federation is designed to enhance the well-being and success of teachers and their students.
