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 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 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 Ft Dodge, IA

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

“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.”

Teacher in Ft Dodge, IA

“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

“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

“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

“I feel a lot better as a teacher. When you are soaring and you just feel there’s this, you are gliding. That’s it. And that’s how I feel now. I’ve been teaching for over 20 years, but I’ve never felt this way. I have never, I’m more confident in the work I do.”
