Customer Reviews
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

After being a SAHM after my education college work, I’m just getting back into teaching in my mid-30s. This is THE podcast I come to when I need a confidence boost for that imposter syndrome, actionable tips that I can implement same-day, and classroom management advice. Thank you Lori for sharing your wisdom!
