Teaching Lab CEO Sarah Johnson is featured in EdWeek Market Brief, shedding light on why many ed-tech products go unused. She explains that companies often focus too much on the question, “How can I get my product in front of teachers?” when they should be asking, “Why don’t teachers want to use my product?” Discover more insights on the practical integration of ed-tech products into teachers' workflows by reading the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gB7RE2H3

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.

#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
