Teaching + Learning Lab
Our Mission
We partner with MIT educators, staff, and administrators to create an educational environment where students are academically challenged, actively engaged, and personally supported.

Often, strategies that create inclusive classrooms and inclusive departmental environments support students’ academic belonging.
