    Government has reached a tentative deal with teachers that includes a two percent wage increase over the next four years. Also included is a one-time teacher recognition bonus payment of $2,000, wage recognition, recruitment and retention incentives, and  an additional report card day to assist teachers in managing workload. The responsive teaching and learning model will be reviewed, and definitions of harassment and discrimination will be brought up to date. The Newfoundland and Labrador Teachers’ Association (NLTA) represents approximately 6,500 educators and administrators across the province.
