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:
“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
“Teaching Lab has been well received, and I believe the reason for that is when they come in, they’re learning, they’re asking, they’re getting to know the context…. I believe it’s a really good organization that can provide that development of teachers with that context in mind.”
School Performance Coordinator in Milwaukee, WI
“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
“I learned a lot and was excited it wasn’t fluff or too long. This was helpful and doable. It helped me to get in the mindset and consider methods outside of traditional classroom learning [to prepare for school opening after COVID] Thanks to Teaching Lab”
Teacher in Calcasieu Parish, LA
“It made me realize how important it will be in the coming year to help students fill in the gaps in their education.”
Teacher in Tangipahoa Parish, LA
“Our relationship with Dr. Soto [of Teaching Lab] has made all of the difference in the success of our professional development. She has been outstanding, and my principals and leaders ask for her specifically by name.”
District Leader in Calcasieu Parish, LA
“Relay has consistently delivered high-quality adult learning that simultaneously holds our educators’ full-selves, anchors on a rigorous and belonging student experience, and results in tangibly better-empowered teachers.”
Caitlin Butler, Deputy Chief of Talent, KIPP Texas
“The professional learning was excellent. Teachers stated that it was the best training in their career because of it’s relevance of addressing unfinished learning. They were pushed in their thinking.”
Teacher in Strive/Cincinatti Public Schools
“The people at Teaching Lab make the difference. There is a magic in the way they present, the way they discuss, and how open they are with all of their learning. The materials are top notch, but the people there make it come alive. ”
District Lead in Calcasieu Parish, LA
