A new Čech-de Rham model for the cohomology of the classifying space of a foliated manifold is presented. By this model, the construction of known characteristic classes in the cohomology of the manifold can be lifted to the cohomology of the classifying space by standard geometric methods. It is also used to prove some other known formulas, as well as a version of Poincaré duality for foliations.
