  • 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!

  • 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!

  • I’m so grateful for Dr. Lori’s Enthusiasm, Experience, and Inspiring Ideas

    I’ve just been so blessed to listen to Dr. Lori’s podcasts for the past couple of summers. She got me excited about teaching again after a very difficult first year and gave me a lot of ideas for my 2nd year. Now I’m getting ideas for my 3rd year. I especially love the positivity she has maintained about teaching and how she encourages me to find joy in teaching and to find the positive with my students. Even though kids can get on your last nerve so often, they are also so precious and I really... more
