Knowledge Network Solutions
All of our Knowledge Network solutions are custom-developed to incorporate the core beliefs
and goals of each client by slowing down the teaching cycle and enabling deep reflection and
generation through an ongoing systemic process. Each solution may target pre-service,
beginning, and veteran teachers, mid-career new teachers, coaches/mentors, instructional
leaders, administrators, and higher education faculty members, to ultimately impact student
learning.
Virtual mentoring
Our online mentoring programs enable effective professional relationships to form and thrive
despite the time constraints in the teaching community. This kind of customized solution sets
LessonLab apart in the ability to connect teachers and build a visible knowledge base for the
entire profession.
"LessonLab has provided our teachers with an opportunity to view and discuss best practices.
The LessonLab learning model has provided our teachers with an on-line professional
development experience that has focused on reflective thinking and collaborative dialogue
about teaching and student learning. The LessonLab staff has been an invaluable resource to
our district staff in the implementation of the platform and the building of the lesson
archives."

Content-based
Teachers' critical need for deeper content knowledge was a key finding from the world-wide
research of the TIMSS Video Studies. Our content-based solutions leverage these findings to
provide hands-on experiences that help teachers increase their own content understanding and
thus, enable them to scaffold student learning.
Pedagogical
As pedagogical theories become widely studied and used in the profession, teachers need to
see examples of these theories in practice. Our pedagogical solutions provide a content-based
context for teachers to develop their own professional judgment.
"In looking for professional development platforms for our internal training needs and for
our clients, we feel LessonLab is uniquely positioned to provide on-line professional
development focused on improving classroom instruction. We have not found another platform
that matches LessonLab's approach to examining classroom videos."

Specialization
While educators become more proficient in interpreting student data, our specialized
solutions become critical in meeting these identified needs. This kind of professional
development removes standardization from the teaching process and places the emphasis on the
targeted student population.
Leadership
As most educators are aware, instructional leadership exists on many levels. At its core, it
has become shared ownership of student achievement. Our leadership solutions recognize this
position as a necessity and help schools become interdependent learning communities.
