    FOR YOU

    Tell us who you are

    NAPTOSA does different work for different stages of a teaching career. Pick the one that fits and we'll show you the most relevant starting points.

    Starting your career? Start it right.

    Fresh-from-university teachers pay the same monthly fee as a 20-year veteran and get the same full membership — but only if you know what to ask for. Your first two years also set your entire salary trajectory via REQV and notch placement, so the ask matters.

    Excellence in Service

    Professional Integrity & Protection

    Labour representation, CPD workshops, and member benefits — the three things teachers ask us for most. Here's what each one actually covers.

    Labour Representation

    Expert legal advocacy and collective bargaining that secures your rights in the workplace.
