Storytelling Lab
The world needs to listen to teachers, and teachers need to be heard.
Stories have the power to connect us, move us, and challenge us. Many teachers are too busy making an impact to have their stories told. We want to change that.
The role of the storytelling lab is to make the stories of educators, working on the frontlines, visible and audible. There’s no better way to authentically experience what is possible than by hearing real examples from inside real classrooms and communities. We believe that, by making teachers' stories more present in the field of education, we would help to inform better practices, research, and decision-making that truly support both teachers and students.
What We Do
Journalism is a pillar of democracy
We build the capacity of teachers as storytellers. We work with different partners to help practitioners tell their stories in impactful ways. Research on teachers as journalists here.
We make short and engaging collections of stories in different formats findable and usable by educators on the frontlines.
We improve access to educational research for practitioners. The storytelling lab works with partners on different actions, ways, and formats that connect research to practice.
