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:

“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

“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 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

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

“Teaching Lab was one of the best PD’s I’ve had in my 31 years of teaching. It presented systemic changes that could be made in mathematics instruction that work. It wasn’t focused on quick fixes or cute lesson ideas.”

Teacher in Strive/Cincinatti Public Schools

“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.”

Teacher in Washington Parish, LA

“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.”

District Leader in Pt Coupee 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

“Adrienne and Farren [of Teaching Lab] are not only PD facilitators, but they are collaborative partners in all aspects. I reach out to them on a regular basis when I have questions.”
