Learning Lab
Learning Lab (LL) is a research methodology developed in 2011 by Aydin Bal that provides research-based guidelines for local stakeholders to develop productive family-school-community partnerships and design behavioral support systems that are culturally responsive to diverse needs, strengths, practices, and goals of all stakeholders within a local school community.

(2018)Vygotsky: An Intellectual Biography London and New York: RoutledgBOOK PREVIEW/ref> and Aleksei N. Leontiev.
