For many years, CTU has advocated for women’s right to control our own bodies. Our majority-female union established a Women’s Rights Committee in the 1970s to advance our rights in the workplace and in society. We invite you to join us on Saturday, October 2 at Daley Plaza at 11:30 a.m. We’ll meet on the southwest corner of the plaza, at Clark & Washington.
Together we will raise our voices to demand that women in Texas, Mississippi and all over the nation have the right to access safe, legal abortion. We know that the outrageous laws recently passed will endanger poor women the most and will lead to a resurgence in back-alley abortions. Stand with us!

Professional Development
Restorative. Relevant. Reflective. The Chicago Teachers Union Foundation QUEST CENTER for Professional Learning and Teacher Leadership is the premier professional development provider supporting Chicago’s public school educators through re-licensure, National Board Certification, and endorsements in which pre-service through veteran educators collaborate, network, and learn to improve their practice by addressing students’ cognitive development and social-emotional well-being through culturally responsive, trauma-sensitive learning environments.
National Board Certification
Nurturing Teacher Leadership, established in 1997, is the Chicago Teachers Union/Chicago Public Schools 2-year program of professional development and candidate support that prepares Chicago Public School teachers for National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification, the highest credential a teacher can earn.
Nurturing Teacher Leadership has a success rate of more than 94%, twice the national average!
