Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We’re glad your time at Teaching Lab let you experience what we know to be true: our team is full of smart, committed, wonderful people. We’re sorry to hear you experienced unclear communication during your time with us. We strive to provide regular and clear communication by assigning every team member a Home Manager who can communicate organizational priorities and processes and support personal and professional development. We’re proud of the internal communications venues and vehicles we provide to ensure our team members can understand and engage with our organizational growth and development. These vehicles include regular Town Hall meetings and internal newsletters highlighting how our teams are working toward our strategic priorities, as well as internal communications platforms that keep us personally and professionally connected in our flexible, virtual work environment.

Pros

Committed to the growth of teachers. Equity is preached and practiced in many ways. As a black woman, I have NEVER felt like less than or been unappreciated at Teaching Lab. It is no different than any other job with certain issues but overall I love working here.

Cons

Internal growth opportunities are few and when they occur they are convoluted and difficult.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for calling out Teaching Lab and our team’s commitment to teachers and educational equity. We’re proud to have you on our team and we love that you love working here. We appreciate your thoughts and concerns about developmental pathways within Teaching Lab. As we’ve grown the size of our team over the past three years, we’ve also worked hard to increase the clarity and intention of our internal growth and development pathways. Today, these pathways and role progressions are part of our growth strategy and our Performance Development System (PDS), which every employee participates in with an assigned Home Manager who guides and supports their professional growth and development. We’re proud to additionally support each of our team members’ development through our external coaching partner and discretionary resources to help them chart and pursue career advancement pathways within Teaching Lab.

Pros

Everyone is passionate about the work they do and building connections even though remote

Cons

There are so many processes for everything it is hard to keep track and it seems like there is new ones always being introduced. When it comes to management, there is so much tiered middle managers that it gets confusing who is ultimately in charge.
