Lab Site Facilitation: Bringing Theory to Life in Real Classrooms

Tania Lattanzio works alongside educators through lab site facilitation, a powerful model of professional learning that takes theory off the page and into the classroom.

Through collaborative planning, in-class modelling, and reflective dialogue, Tania partners with teachers to design and implement learning that is conceptually rich, inquiry-driven, and responsive to students. Each lab site is rooted in the current learning taking place in your school, ensuring relevance and real-time application.

Lab sites create a safe and energising space for professional growth where learning is visible, collaborative, and grounded in your real context. They help educators bridge the gap between knowing and doing, and support sustained shifts in teaching practice.

The Process

The process typically involves:

  1. Collaborative planning with teachers to align learning intentions, design engagements, and consider resourcing

  2. In-class modelling, where Tania teaches with or for teachers, demonstrating strategies that bring the focus of the modelling to life

  3. Professional reflection, where educators come together to unpack what was observed, connect practice to pedagogy, and consider next steps
