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:

“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

“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

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

Teacher in Tangipahoa Parish, LA

“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

“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

“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

“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

“Teaching Lab has provided PD sessions that has strengthened teachers knowledge in teaching
practices to increase students writing. The biggest contributing factor is the rigor and high quality instruction.”
