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:

“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

“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 Sessions were appropriately organized, and slowly brought me into the curriculum that could seem overwhelming.”

Virtual Bootcamp Participant, Nebraska

“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

“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

“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

“I feel like I’m more confident and comfortable when I’m talking with other educators, knowing what I can support them with. The work we’ve done has given me the ability to recognize my strengths and how I can use those to support the other teachers I work with.”

Tamara Leachman, a CPS 3–5 math teacher

“I love Teaching Lab so much and cannot wait to continue learning with other teachers in CPS on the strategies that we can use with our students. All of the practices that I implemented with my students proved successful!”

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.”
