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 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
“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.”
Teacher in Milwaukee, WI
“This is our strongest cohort of 1st year teachers. After attending the Relay training, they almost immediately had the foundational skills down, like giving clear directions, checking for understanding, and teacher presence.”
Alejandra Cantu, School Leader
“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
“I usually don’t, but I actually really liked reading through the reflections/discussion boards. People had great insights. Each topic was different, so it was interesting to complete.”
Virtual Bootcamp Participant, Nebraska
“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
“The Sessions were appropriately organized, and slowly brought me into the curriculum that could seem overwhelming.”
