I can’t stop recommending this to my friends!
I, like many others, am a first year teacher. Most days I feel completely in over my head trying to absorb and teach the curriculum, connect with students virtually, and juggle parent frustrations as we navigate virtual third grade. This podcast has kept me afloat this year and most weeks it feels like Dr. Lori is in my head, predicting exactly what advice I need most. Her Facebook group is truly unique as well; every member is uplifting and willing to give practical and sincere advice. This podcast has helped me welcome back in-person students solidly! Some of my kids had a tough transition back and if I’ve gotten one thing RIGHT as a newby, it’s building relationships and giving these kids a great year to remember. (Also, I truly hope they learned something. That would definitely be nice!) We are an incredibly close class and it wouldn’t have happened without this podcast and community. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

She is like the professor that I wished I had in college. She talks about best practice in teaching in...Read full review »

I was so skeptical to start this just because of the time that I had. As I was doing other work as a teacher, I was listening to this in the. Background and I do not regret it. This has helped me become the best teacher I can be and I recommend it to any teacher but specifically any first year...Read full review »
