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

“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

“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

“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

“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

“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

“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

“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.”
