Teaching Lab is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC, focused on closing the educational opportunity gap through teacher-led professional learning. It identifies exceptional teacher-leaders, partners with them to recruit their colleagues, and supports them in improving instruction for underserved students. The organization notes that traditional professional development is frequently ineffective and offers a scalable alternative aimed at elevating teaching quality. Its model rests on three elements: teacher leadership, core content, and iterative cycles of inquiry, all grounded in cognitive science and education research. In 2025, Teaching Lab participated in EdTech Week in New York, signaling collaboration around curriculum, pedagogy, and technology.
