Customer Reviews
Lori is my guru
I’m a returning teacher because I took 20 years off to raise my kids. When I got hired to teach third grade last year, I started looking for a podcast to help me prepare. Dr. Lori’s podcast stood out because she is realistically optimistic, creative and wise with experience! After listening to the podcast I signed up for the new teacher academy and felt confident and capable when I finally got to set up my classroom. Every challenge I have faced this year, Dr. Lori has had a solution or a resource. Also, her classroom management club is a refreshing lifesaver. I can’t imagine what this year would have been like without my Guru Dr. Lori’s step by step coaching. I just gave her new book to our student teacher who was hired at our school. I’m a fan for life and will share you with every new teacher I know.
Amazing
This podcast is amazing. It has such amazing ideas and has helped me with teaching so much. I am a young teacher and started teaching Kindergarten. As you probably know, it can be tough. But this has given me great ideas. Lori, you have such an awesome personality. Some podcasts are boring to listen to, but this one you seem comfortable and you are so open. Thank you so much for coming up with this and for continuing. I’m sure it’s helped me as much as it helped others.
Beginning teacher
A very insightful listen! Highly recommend
