Testimonials

Teachers are the engine behind the success of our work to shift the paradigm of teacher professional learning. At Teaching Lab, educators’ voices matter – and we are honored to share those voices here:

Our literacy scores at the elementary were higher than they have been in years. I feel the inquiry cycles that were facilitated by our instructional coaches (trained by Teaching Lab) were very influential in this growth.”

Teacher in Chicago, IL

“TAB is a place I want to be in because it means that Teaching Lab is interested in prioritizing teacher voices.”

Ira Stillwell — Program Facilitator and TAB member

“One of the reasons we went with Teaching Lab is because of its emphasis on content specificity, curriculum specificity, as well as equity. So we were looking to promote a coaching model that was transformational. The Head, Hearts, and Habits really spoke to us and said that this is ultimately what we needed.”

Amy Baker-Sheridan, Associate, Secondary English Language Arts & Literacy, Delaware Dept of Ed

“This learning community is, by far, the most beneficial I have ever been involved with. I’m very thankful for my PD time with Teaching Lab.”

“I’m really excited about all of it to be honest but specifically our problem of practice has been rigor so it will be exciting to see high expectations for ALL students with this program.”

“I usually don’t, but I actually really liked reading through the reflections/discussion boards. People had great insights. Each topic was different, so it was interesting to complete.”

“The Sessions were appropriately organized, and slowly brought me into the curriculum that could seem overwhelming.”

“This is our strongest cohort of 1st year teachers. After attending the Relay training, they almost immediately had the foundational skills down, like giving clear directions, checking for understanding, and teacher presence.”

Alejandra Cantu, School Leader

“Before the year began, I had some push back on the IM curriculum. STEM teachers and principal felt like what they were doing was working and did not need a change. I truly credit the work that the teachers engaged in this year around the curriculum and the inquiry cycles to the full buy-in from our staff and administrators. We are looking forward to partnering with Teaching Lab again this year for both math and ELA.”
