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:

“I feel like I’m more confident and comfortable when I’m talking with other educators, knowing what I can support them with. The work we’ve done has given me the ability to recognize my strengths and how I can use those to support the other teachers I work with.”

Tamara Leachman, a CPS 3–5 math teacher

“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

“The content is too important not to know. Every classroom needs these things in their toolbox. It gets better and better.”

ELA Teacher in Pt Coupee, LA

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

Virtual Bootcamp Participant, Nebraska

“Teaching Lab has provided PD sessions that has strengthened teachers knowledge in teaching
practices to increase students writing. The biggest contributing factor is the rigor and high quality instruction.”

Teacher in New York City Public Schools

TL was able to provide teachers with not only knowledge of the curriculum, but the why behind asking students to practice thinking in a particular way. For example, why we use 2 texts with differing viewpoints on the same topic. Before, teachers just thought that this just made the content more “difficult” and they used to equate hard with rigor. They now know the true meaning of rigor and its importance for student growth.”

Teacher in Lafayette Parish, LA

“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.”

Virtual Bootcamp Participant, Nebraska

“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.”

Virtual Bootcamp Participant, Nebraska

“It made me realize how important it will be in the coming year to help students fill in the gaps in their education.”
