Welcome to our new and improved Washington Teachersʼ Union (WTU) website. We serve more than 4,000 DC Public School (DCPS) teachers and are committed to establishing and maintaining optimal working conditions for teachers, protecting their rights and giving them a collective voice. This site has been redesigned to serve as a reliable source of information for our members, the media and anyone else interested in learning more about the WTU. The top navigation bar contains information about the WTU, our professional development program and vital resources for our members. The left side navigation bar contains information for our members, building representatives, retirees and the media. You are encouraged to visit this site often for up-to-date information on WTU meetings, events, notices and other activities that affect your work. Unlike any other time in the history of our school system, we are undergoing logistical, as well as, instructional changes. Thank you for enduring the many challenges that have taken place in the past year and for your commitment to the children of DCPS. We appreciate your continued support of the Washington Teachersʼ Union and hope you find our new website interactive, informative and interesting. George Parker, President
