AEU Tasmania state manager Roz Madsen said it is up to Premier Will Hodgman to choose to prioritise quality education and the needs of educators and students or continue playing political games at the expense of children and parents.
"Industrial action is always an absolute last resort for educators and the AEU's elected teacher and support staff leadership would consider calling off industrial action if the crucial combination of workload and pay were addressed," Ms Madsen said.
"The Premier has had our counter offer for well over a week and has failed to even show the respect of responding to these fair, balanced and affordable solutions."
The AEU rejected the latest teachers' agreement put forward by the government and submitted a counter-offer.
Key components of the counter-offer include a 3 per cent pay raise and measures to address the lack of in-class support, such as caps on class sizes.
The state government announced, via a Department of Education email to school principals, that it will be making a new offer to teachers at a meeting between public sector unions and the Premier and Treasurer Peter Gutwein on Friday.

Education Minister Jeremy Rockliff urged the AEU to call off the industrial action.
"We are less than 24 hours away from another important meeting with the unions as part of our good faith negotiations," Mr Rockliff said on Thursday.
"Our revised offer was discussed at length with representatives from the AEU and changes were made directly as a result of their feedback and what teachers have asked for.
"This included a 3 per cent pay increase in the first year for more than 50 per cent of our teachers, a reduction in contact hours for primary school teachers from 22 to 20 hours, which is the most generous in the nation, and we have also taken steps to reduce workload pressures on our principals by employing more support staff.
"The union's direction shows a complete disregard for students and their families."
If the stop work action goes ahead it is likely schools will be forced to close due to the high density of AEU members attending union meetings across the state.
Schools on Tuesday are expected to close early in the North-West and on Wednesday open late in the North and close early in the South.
The Department of Education said it will announce school arrangements for impacted students on Friday.
Ms Madsen criticised the government's plan to announce school closures ahead of a meeting that could prevent the industrial action from taking place.
"Surely the Premier would want to give teachers the time to consider any new offer presented at tomorrow's meeting, before preemptively closing schools?" Ms Madsen said.
"It is typical of the disrespect for parents and educators from Will Hodgman that he plans to announce school closures even before siting down at the table to try and resolve the dispute.
"The Premier has scheduled his meeting with teachers at the same time as the Education Minister is to announce school closures.
"It smacks of a political stunt rather than a genuine attempt at resolution.
"If the government was listening and seriously wants to address key educator concerns and equip schools to deliver the support kids need in their classes, they have the solutions in the AEU's counter offer."
