Members of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers have voted to back the government's revised pensions deal.
Some 91.6% of ATL members voted in favour of the deal, thrashed out after a one-day strike in November with six other teaching unions.
ATL is one of the smaller, more moderate teaching unions and represents 160,000 teachers, heads, lecturers and support staff in the UK.
Its president Alice Robinson said her union's members were "realists".
November's strike was the first time in ATL's history that members took part in a walkout.
Under the latest deal, teachers' pension contributions will still increase, but ATL says their pension pots will grow faster than under the current Teachers' Pensions Scheme (TPS) because of an improved accrual rate.
