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:

“I’m really excited about all of it to be honest but specifically our problem of practice has been rigor so it will be exciting to see high expectations for ALL students with this program.”

Virtual Bootcamp Participant, Nebraska

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

“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

“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

“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

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.”

Teacher in Lafayette Parish, LA

“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

“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.”

“It made me realize how important it will be in the coming year to help students fill in the gaps in their education.”
