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

“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

“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

“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

“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 Chicago, IL

“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

“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

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

Virtual Bootcamp Participant, Nebraska

“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.”
