  • Excellent Classroom Management Ideas

    If I had this podcast when I was half way through my career

    I never would have left! My weak spot was Classroom Management.

    This is one of the few resources I’ve found with so many practical ideas. (If I get another summer school or Teacher Librarian job I certainly will subscribe.)

    Thanks!

  • Exceptional!

    Because of being a member of Lori’s program, I felt extremely confident going from being a PE teacher to teaching third grade. My first week of school, the superintendent wrote a personalized note with how impressed he was with my class and they featured me on school district Facebook page showing what my class was doing. I couldn’t have done this without you!

  • So grateful for Lori!

    I am a 5th year level 5 teacher and every podcast leaves me with an actionable item that I can easily implement. Beginning teacher talk takes things off my plate and helps me create the ideal learning experience for my students.

  • This is GOLD! 💛⭐️

    I’m so glad I found Dr. Lori’s podcast before I started my first year teaching. This helped me so much and gave me so many tips. I didn’t feel as overwhelmed and ill prepared thanks to Dr. Lori!

  • Love Dr. Lori’s podcasts!

    I wish I had found you last year before my first year of teaching, but I am definitely signing up for the free master class and once I figure out how to sign up for the academy I will be doing that too! So many things I’m learning that I wish I knew a year ago, but I’m excited to be even more prepared for next year!
