Education journalist and broadcaster Mike Baker talks to Mary Bousted, general secretary of the ATL, at the union's annual conference in Bournemouth.
This year's conference saw the condemnation of Ofsted inspections by the general secretary, and debates on pupil behaviour and the problem of cyber bullying on websites such as "rate my teacher".
The programme also reports on the speech by education secretary Alan Johnson to the conference, which focused on personalised learning, and what the role of teachers should be in assessing children's progress.
