Hunting for new ways to help your students to better understand the city and its buildings—past, present, and future? Searching for practical, innovative, and hands-on classroom activities? Looking for ways to earn Lane Credit and CPDUs?

The Chicago Architecture Foundation offers professional development workshops for teachers throughout the school year and during the summer. Behind-the-scenes tours, knowledgeable speakers, and classroom-ready activities that meet Illinois Learning Standards provide teachers with both educational and personal enrichment.

At CAF, Chicago’s architecture comes alive and serves as a learning laboratory where students and teachers discover how the built environment impacts them each day.

– "This was one of the best workshops I've ever attended. It meets my current curriculum needs right now."
