Tennessee

The state of Tennessee is raising expectations and improving student performance according to a new study by Education Next and Tennessee Education Commissioner, Dr. Candice McQueen.

​Larry can help your teachers meet and exceed these high expectations of student performance while getting your teachers excited about teaching again!


Tennessee is a state on the move!

"While the state of Tennessee has received an “A” for the first time in the state’s history from the highly respected educational organization “Education Next,” many Tennessee teachers are struggling to keep their own internal fire “hot.” Traveling across the great state of Tennessee, it is obvious that some very talented teachers are becoming worn down and often feel beaten-down because of the many pressures in education today. While this is a nationwide trend, it comes at a difficult time for Tennessee because so much progress is being made statewide that everyone is expected to keep up. The number one issue in Tennessee is to bring joy back to teaching so that teachers are at their absolute best every day. Practically every call I get to work in Tennessee has something to do with helping teachers regain their love of teaching and coming to work each day ready to believe in and help every child.”

"After attending your workshop, Woodland Park Elementary School launched the use of
UNRA(A)VEL and the 12 Powerful Words. Every classroom and teacher put your strategies into place. As a result, they went from being a school with a score of 1 to a school with a score of 5. They were selected as a Reward School in the state of TN. That means that their performance was in the top 5% of the state. Thanks for your help!!!!!!!”
