While thousands of places across the nation offer training and professional development for educators, The Teaching Studio is one of very few based in a practicing, successful, urban school. With a deep belief in the importance of our nation’s public school system, we are committed to working collaboratively with other public schools to improve student achievement. The Learning Community, one of Rhode Island’s most successful urban schools, was founded in 2004 to serve its students and families and to function as a center for research and development to improve public education. The Teaching Studio is the realization of this goal.
