Teaching Lab Response
3yThank you for acknowledging the ways we strive to provide the resources necessary for our team members to work in pursuit of educational equity and for sharing your perspective. At Teaching Lab, we value and strive to incorporate the perspectives and insights of our community members into the work we do in service of our commitments to racial justice and organizational development.
We know that the work of learning how to live these commitments is never ending and yet we take seriously our responsibility to always be moving forward on our journey toward racial justice and liberation. At Teaching Lab, the next phase of this journey takes the shape of an organization-wide, community-driven racial justice initiative led by our People & Culture team. You can learn more about the principles and commitments to racial justice that guide our internal and external work here on our Teaching Lab website: https://www.teachinglab.org/equitycommitment.
As a non-profit focused on fundamentally shifting the paradigm of professional learning for educational equity, we strive to expand our work to serve our mission and to ensure that more communities have access to the high quality professional development that their teachers, students and families need and deserve. As we expand our work in service of our mission, it is important to note a misunderstanding in your post: Teaching Lab’s Executive Team members do not receive additional compensation based on additional contracts - we do not operate on a commission basis.
