Testimonial
I recently completed Lori’s course Understanding Grit & Mindset. I found the course enjoyable and relevant. The materials were accessible, and each lesson was reasonable in length and difficulty level. The course was easy to navigate and presented the information and learning opportunities described in the syllabus.
As an instructor, Lori was supportive and encouraging and provided meaningful and timely feedback.
Most importantly, I was able to put learning from her course into use in my classroom. I have changed lessons and my own language to help develop “grit and mindset” in my students. Furthermore, I have shared ideas from the course with my colleagues.
I would and have recommended the course to others.
