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 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

“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

“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

“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 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

“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

“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

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

“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
