About This Webinar

Many caring adults still teach to the world they grew up in, not the one students actually live in today. As an educator this can be terribly frustrating and disappointing when trying to serve all students in meaningful ways. This workshop offers an honest, supportive look at why staff resist 21st-century practices and how attachment to “we’ve always done it this way” holds students back. You’ll gain language, strategies, and conversation moves to loosen that grip on old practices and spark mindset shifts that serve all students.

The presentation lacked a flow. It definitely seemed like the presenter was touching the surface with the intent to sell her book. The presenter jumped between topics with little bits of information to peak curiosity but never provide you with a deep understanding. She was essentially selling her book. It was only at the very end that she shared the "NOTICE - CHOOSE - ACT" worksheet with minimal explanation. Maybe watching the movie will be more helpful...

This was such a thoughtful and encouraging session. Lori talks honestly about moving beyond “we’ve always done it this way” without making educators feel judged or ignoring the very real pressures they face.

The “cross backwards” exercise makes the discomfort of change instantly relatable, and the Notice, Choose, Act framework gives educators a practical place to start. Lori’s warmth, humor and honesty make the webinar feel more like a conversation with someone who truly understands educators.

I especially appreciated the reminder that creating a modern classroom is not about chasing trends or adding more to our plates. It is about building trust, staying curious and creating spaces where students and educators can thrive. I left feeling hopeful and ready to try something new!
