Igniting Love for Educators
A Community for Transformative Education
At ILAB (Igniting Love with Angela Brooks), we believe that love is at the heart of transformation. Love, as we define it, is about honoring one’s full personhood while creating space and grace to thrive. With over 20 years of research and impact-driven work, we have designed professional learning experiences that empower educators, strengthen school culture, and build systems for sustainable change. Our courses focus on fostering belonging, integrating social-emotional learning (SEL) with academics, and providing leadership coaching for systemic transformation. Whether you’re a teacher, administrator, or district leader, ILAB Academy offers tailored support to help you create an environment where both staff and students can thrive. Explore our offerings and join us in shaping a more inclusive, resilient, and love-centered future in education.
