A Word from Doug Lemov

“I am really excited about the partnership between TLAC and InnerDrive. I’ve always admired how InnerDrive was able to explain research and make it visible so it’s understandable and accessible to teachers. Combining that with TLAC’s library of videos and my team’s passion for translating research makes for a perfect partnership. We’ve collaborated on blog posts and data visualizations together in the past, and I joined them at their Teaching & Learning Summit last year, so this feels like a great natural next step. I can’t wait for teachers and educators to have this evidence-informed and practical resource at their fingertips. We are hoping it will be a real gamechanger in professional development.”
