From Surviving to Thriving, new educators today are adopting this strategy to shape a better future for our children's education and to make the most of the time they spend in the classroom.

Teachers from all over WA gathered together on Friday August 13, for SSTUWA's inaugural New Educators' State conference, themed 'From Surviving to Thriving'.

Conference organisers, ETC Coordinator, Mary Franklyn and SSTUWA Educator, Cherry Bogunovich, arranged the attendance of approximately 55 participants, a mix of primary and high school educators who are in their first five years of teaching.

They are fresh on the block and are looking for new and innovative ways to teach, cope with common issues and learn more about how the union can support them.

The Australian Education Union will be conducting our annual on-line survey of beginning teachers over the next four weeks commencing Wednesday 5 November. To complete the AEU New Educators Survey 2008, please log into this site and then folow the 'online survey link' from the member menu or visit the Federal Website: www.aeufederal.org.au.

Gathering ongoing information from new teachers through this survey assists the union to advocate the needs of teachers new to the profession and to develop solutions to issues like teacher supply and demand, pre-service teacher education, and supporting teaching standards. Receiving feedback on beginning teachers’ union membership and union participation will also assist in recruitment and in enabling the union to address the needs of beginning teachers.

The survey is password protected. You can gain this password from the SSTUWA message forum or from your principal or union rep.  The survey is open to all new educators in their first three years of teaching and will run from Thursday 6th November until Friday 6th December 2008
