Laboratory & Training Day

For over 112 years, the University of Memphis Training and Laboratory Schools have researched best practices, codified what works, and trained countless educators, while achieving best-in-class results with children from all across the Memphis area. The University Schools serve children from every zip code in Shelby County. 

We are excited to open our doors to fellow educators, thought leaders, and community partners to join us for the 2024-25 Laboratory & Training Day on May 6, 2025. 

Our Laboratory & Training Day experiences are hands-on, half-day professional learning opportunities, where participants will learn firsthand the practices that have made the University Schools one of the top-performing school systems in the state of Tennessee - and leave ready to replicate those practices in their own context.
