With a commitment to equity and justice, CTU advocates for the schools and the city that its students truly deserve. They believe that learning, working, and living conditions are interconnected, and they work tirelessly to improve all aspects of public education.

CTU offers a range of services and resources to its members. Through their website, members can access their contract, find guidance on common concerns, and learn how to stand up for their rights. CTU also provides opportunities for members to take action in the legislature, join citywide campaigns, and empower local school councils.

In addition to their advocacy work, CTU offers a variety of internal activities and resources, including democratic decision-making bodies, publications, discounts, and professional development opportunities.
