TEACHERS' union leader Martin Johnson is in the North-East, rallying members of the NAS/UWT on the eve of the start of industrial action today.
The two largest teaching unions last week called on members to limit the amount of paperwork and non-classroom activity they perform during the school day.
From today, the membership of both unions is expected to take part in the "Time for a Limit" campaign, curbing time-consuming non-teaching aspects to their daily workload.
Mr Johnson, the national president of the NAS/UWT, visited Trinity School and St Godric's RC Primary in Durham yesterday, before addressing district branch members at a meeting at the Salutation hotel, in Framwellgate Moor, last night.
He moves north today to rally the troops in North Tyneside and Northumberland
