Alice Ng is the Senior Director of Studio Classroom Model at Teaching Lab Studio, where she leads the Math Edition in close collaboration with the Studio Classroom Model Fellow and Entrepreneur-in-Residence. Her work sits at the intersection of AI technology, classroom instruction, and instructional coaching, grounded in the belief that the tools most likely to transform teaching are those designed closest to the classroom, by people who understand what teachers and students actually need. In this role, Alice supports SCM coaches day to day, drives cross-model strategy and research with the ELA Edition and Fellowship teams, and advances initiatives that connect AI-powered tools to the real work of teaching and learning.
Alice brings both research and practitioner experience to this work. Before joining Teaching Lab Studio, she served as Director of Facilitation Development at Teaching Lab, where she built and led a national ecosystem of coaches and facilitators across 23+ states and designed the certification and development systems that shaped coaching quality organization-wide. Earlier in her career, she served as a network math director at one of New York City’s largest charter networks, leading coherent math instructional strategy across 17 schools and driving significant gains in student outcomes. Her research on mathematical representations in student writing was recognized with an Outstanding Paper Award at NAACL 2025.
Alice’s relationship with education began at Breakthrough New York, first as a student, later as a teaching fellow, and eventually as a program director. That experience rooted her in community and in a deep commitment to the students most often left behind by the systems meant to serve them. That commitment has shaped every role she has held since. Outside of work, she walks her dog and pursues learning for its own sake, most recently through pre-medical coursework at Bryn Mawr College’s Pre-Med Post-Bac Program. She holds a B.A. in Government and French Studies from Smith College and a Master of Arts in Teaching with a concentration in Secondary Mathematics from the Relay Graduate School of Education.
