Testimonials

“Lori’s talk was so relatable and detailed, as I love the huge number of examples she gave us about creating early learning classrooms that are equitable and welcoming for all children. I had not realized how powerful examples are. Her examples help teach me about culturally relevant practices, so I can now see how to carry this out in my own classroom, and I’m starting to explore my own unconscious biases.”

“Lori has a way of teaching her students how to take their learning into their own hands. She encouraged me to reflect upon my own teaching practice and identify ways that I can improve the work I do with children and families. I used to go home exhausted at the end of each day, but with the self-care and resiliency skills she’s taught me, I have a lot more energy that I can bring to the classroom each day.”
