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 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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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
“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.”
