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:

“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

“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

“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.”

Teacher in New York City 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

“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

“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

“Teaching Lab was one of the best PD’s I’ve had in my 31 years of teaching. It presented systemic changes that could be made in mathematics instruction that work. It wasn’t focused on quick fixes or cute lesson ideas.”

Teacher in Strive/Cincinatti Public Schools

“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 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”
