Sample scopes of work
What are these scopes?
How we address equity
Teaching Lab supports teachers with research-backed professional learning and coaching that help them improve outcomes for all students. Our PL and coaching aim to explicitly advance educational equity through culturally-responsive and sustaining education practices. We therefore support educators to interrogate their own identities and mindsets and how these show up to help or hinder students. Importantly, shifts in mindsets must be connected to shifts in equitable practice. For instance, PL and coaching support educators to hold high expectations for all students AND to enact instructional strategies that ensure all students meet grade-level expectations.
Why is this important?
How we build district capacity
Teaching Lab offers a suite of customized implementation supports aligned to LEA needs. Services include HQIM-based professional learning and coaching that support educators to study HQIM and evidence, learn new practices, test strategies leveraging their HQIM, and measure and reflect on impact through student work and data analysis. Teaching Lab supports systems to sustain professional learning by developing the capacity of instructional leaders that sustain systems of continuous improvement and deliver professional learning aligned with HQIM. Teaching Lab also works with LEA stakeholder groups to develop strategy, implement year-long professional learning plans, PLC support, direct-to-teacher coaching, and capacity-building supports for local coaches.
Why is this important?
How we provide curriculum-aligned PL

Workshops

Teaching Lab partners with instructional leaders to design and deliver in-person, virtual, and/or hybrid workshops. Workshop topics are developed collaboratively with instructional leaders and may include unpacking HQIM, learning evidence-based practices, unit/lesson unpacking, implementation of HQIM, modeling how to teach HQIM, practicing to teach, and/or analyzing data.

Coaching

Teaching Lab provides both direct-to-teacher coaching services and capacity-building for instructional coaches, or “coaching the coaches.” Coaches engage teachers in observation and feedback cycles grounded in HQIM. Support for school or district instructional coaches includes learning evidence-based coaching practices and support to engage in observation and feedback cycles.

PLCs

Teaching Lab customizes PLC support to LEA assets and needs. PLC support may include: lesson and unit unpacking and internalization, engaging in Cycles of Inquiry, data analysis, teacher leadership development, and/or support for student learning acceleration.

Consultations

Teaching Lab provides in-person or virtual consultation for instructional leaders to envision, design, and manage effective professional learning systems. This includes project management, visioning and strategy support, executive coaching, building local capacity, and ensuring all educators have access to high-quality professional learning that improves teacher practice and student learning.
