Dachverband Schweizer Lehrerinnen und Lehrer, Teachers' federation headquarters in Pfingstweidstrasse, Zürich, Switzerland.
The Dachverband Schweizer Lehrerinnen und Lehrer is a coordination office for teachers' associations operating from a central location in Zürich. The office brings together professionals responsible for supporting schools and teachers across all cantons.
The federation was founded in 2011 to bring cantonal teaching associations under a shared administrative structure. Since then, the organization has grown into a key institution in Swiss education policy.
The federation connects teachers from all language regions of Switzerland and creates space for exchange between German-speaking, French-speaking, and Italian-speaking communities. This networking allows educational experiences and practices to be shared across regional boundaries.
The office is located in central Zürich and is well served by public transportation. Visitors should note that this is an administrative office, and scheduling an appointment in advance is recommended.
The organization coordinates the work of 26 different cantonal teaching associations, creating one of the largest networks for education professionals in Switzerland. This decentralized structure allows it to consider local needs while maintaining national perspectives.
