What do laboratory classes enable us to see about using the power of teaching to create a more just society?

Listen to the Content Methods Laboratory Classes instructional team discuss how the laboratory classes will support our participating teacher candidates and observing teacher educators to connect the dots between teaching practice and advancing justice.

Listen to TeachingWorks director Deborah Loewenberg Ball, deputy director Francesca Forzani, and associate director Nicole Garcia —who are instructors for the 2023 Content Methods Laboratory Classes—discuss these questions with our communications manager Alyssa La’Dawn Brandon. 

At TeachingWorks, our mission is to harness the power of teaching to create a more just society. We design everything we do—including our online programs, resources, and events such as the Content Methods Laboratory Classes—to advance this mission. 

This week, Alyssa La’Dawn, Deborah, Francesca, and Nicole are discussing how the laboratory classes will contribute to our mission and what they will enable us to see about using the power of teaching to create a more just society. Listen below!

The Content Methods Laboratory Classes will be held June 5-9, 2023, at the University of Michigan Marsal Family School of Education in Ann Arbor, MI. Participants in the program will watch our team members teach a daily, three-hour mathematics or ELA methods course to real teacher candidates from Southeast Michigan.
