The REAL caucus represents active rank-and-file teachers, clinicians, PSRPs, and school workers who are concerned about the direction of the Chicago Teacher's Union (CTU). This site will help you understand what "getting REAL" could mean for the future of the CTU:

​

• “Getting REAL” means eliminating the bullying, disrespect, micromanagement, and the intense pressure that hinder the function of an effective teaching environment.

• “Getting REAL” means fighting to improve working conditions, which are learning conditions for all Chicago students.

• “Getting REAL” means returning to a union that is democratic, member-driven, and on the side of justice in this city.
