About us
Teaching Lab is a nonprofit organization that works to close the educational opportunity gap through teacher-led professional learning. We identify exceptional teacher-leaders, work with them to recruit their colleagues, and support them in improving instruction for under-served students. In order to raise the achievement of under-served students, we must help thousands of teachers improve their instruction. Despite US schools investing over $20 billion annually in teacher training, typical professional development (PD) simply does not work. Most PD is ineffective because it is characterized by low teacher buy-in, generic content, and lack of follow through. Teaching Lab offers an effective and scalable alternative for rapidly improving teaching quality. Teaching Lab uses a model based on three key elements supported by cognitive science and education research: Teacher Leadership, Core Content, and Iterative Cycles of Inquiry. These elements in combination create impact greater than the sum of their parts.

Overdeck Family Foundation is proud to announce a grant of $900,000 to RPPL (Research Partnership for Professional Learning) to manage three studies focused on identifying the features and traits of genAI tools that show potential to improve teacher quality and student learning, and disseminate those results to the education community at large. Our hope is that investing in an expanded body of evidence will help guide future product development decisions, as well as district procurement choices, improving the experience of millions of teachers and students for decades to come. cc: Center for Public Research and Leadership, Harvard Graduate School of Education, Stanford University Graduate School of Education, Teaching Lab, Teaching Matters, University of Maryland

#FieldNotes: Our Teaching Lab team had a great time at the End of Year Algebra 1 Close-Out Reflection meeting hosted by NYC Public Schools. We looked back on how our professional learning went in the CUNY-UA district this year—what worked, what needs tweaking. The brainstorming with district folks and coaches was super helpful for planning next steps. We're excited to keep improving instruction in NYC classrooms and making a difference next year! 📚💪 #NYCSchools

We're proud to be W.K. Kellogg Foundation's partner for our work on institutionalizing racial equity in teacher professional learning. Supporting over 5,000 educators across 30 U.S. school systems, we ensure lifelong learning with racial equity work.

I was free to be present", says Marcus North, PhD on our #Pride episode of "The Power of a Black Teacher". Check out the full episode on our YouTube channel where Marcus discussed how he honors identity as tools to connect with his students. https://lnkd.in/gVnYUXRS

On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news of freedom for over 250,000 enslaved African Americans, marking the first #Juneteenth. Today, as Teaching Lab observes this historic day, we celebrate Black culture and history and advocate for its inclusion in classrooms across the country.
