What Is MyLabSchool?

MyLabSchool is a suite of online tools designed to help your students make the transition from student to teacher. Appropriate for use in any course where video footage of classroom situations, standards integration, portfolio development and PRAXIS preparation is covered, MyLabSchool meets the individual teaching and learning needs of every instructor and every student. It saves you and your students time, and it helps increase success in your course. What's more, it's EASY!

MyLabSchool's content and resources are worth more than $250 — but we'll provide your students with access when they purchase any Allyn & Bacon Education textbook.
