"We have made many changes in our instructional practices over the past 10 years at Heath Springs Elementary School. We use Response to Intervention and data to guide our every decision. However, the one most influential guiding force was our experience with Total Teacher and Lorraine Milark. The philosophy we developed through Lorrain's gidance has led us to realize that success for students lies in the teacher's hands. This transformation has led our teachers to seek out and do whatever it takes to meet each child's needs. The teacher is the most influential force in every child's life. The Total Teacher will prepare your staff to take it to the next level!!" Sheri Watson "The Total Teacher process completely transformed by classroom and had my students excelling on a level higher than I ever imagined possible for them." Jennifer Barnum "The Strategies in Lorraine’s book The Total Teacher, explain ways to connect the curriculum to the 'real' world. She has ability to articulate verbally and in writing an understanding of curriculum requirements which -inspires both coworkers and students."
Patricia Musgrave "To say that her communication skills are superior is an understatement. Having mastered complex theories and topics in education, Lorraine's delivery of presentations, practices and tools are tailored to meet the skill levels and needs of often diverse groups of educators and school district employees in various and sometimes challenging settings. As the program director at The SCEA I was able to witness these presentations, to read the written feedback of hundreds of participants and to see her work (The Total Teacher) result in improved student achievement where it was applied, I can attest that Lorraine possesses the communication skills necessary to move people, to invest in them her own motivation to achieve and to transform their lives and the lives of the children they teach and serve."
Cecil Cahoon "An outstanding communicator, Lorraine worked with me in various professional development settings for the past five years. As an accomplished author, speaker and expert in the field of professional development Lorraine provided some of the most dynamic, standard-driven opportunities for professional educators in South Carolina during this time."
Todd Jaeck "Lorraine Milark landed a unique situation several years back when the NC "Schools of Excellence" program began. In her book, "The Total Teacher", she shares how she was able to motivate a rock bottom evaluated school to become #7 in the state, and after the principal and superintendent asked for her to stay one more year to continue promoting her professional development strategies, their school received the honors of being #1 in the state."
Connie F. Joyner, Coordinator "I first met Lorraine Milark while working in my capacity as School Psychologist. She had been assigned a class the was well below the national average in math. Undeterred, she set about rectifying the problem by creating a hands-on, innovative method that challenged her students to actively engage in the learning process, empowered fellow teachers and was inclusive of parents and administrators alike. Now, after years of experience she has honed her method and put it in a concise format. Her book, The Total Teacher, offers a strategic plan that embraces K-12 in any school setting. Statistical research verifies her success. It is a must read for all those trying to save their classroom, their schools and their sanity. I highly recommend it."
Sharon E. McGee "Lorraine is a dynamic, passionate and knowledgeable professional who has helped teachers find a tool to help them teach to mastery rather than just "covering" the standards. The Total Teacher process helps teachers who are already working hard, to work smarter."
Dr. Betty Thomas Willyerd, NBCT "Our educational system needs CHANGE! Mrs. Milark's method and years of experience will accomplish this. Her book should be required reading for all Principals, Teachers, Colleges, Universities, US Dept. of Education, and all state superintendents. I've experienced this method in the classroom and watched how it inspired the students to-WANT- to learn."
Lynda G. Moreland "I've been a practitioner of The Total Teacher process for many years. Even at the high school level, these strategies have worked to improve the learning and testing for grades and diplomas. I can truly say that the system and process has improved the learning for my students."
Victor B. Schwartz "As a 31 year veteran nationally recognized educator, novice and veteran teachers often asked me my secret for getting students interested in learning and making them successful in the classroom and in their communities. Lorraine answers those questions in her book Total Teacher by sharing practical ways to make learning come alive for children and life easier for teachers – it was if she were looking inside my classroom and writing her book."
Barbara Flemming Weston "As a special education teacher, I am constantly being required to modify "regular" materials, curriculum and planning systems to suit my needs and those of my students. The Total Teacher has been the first system I've used that required no modifications or adjustments - it was perfectly effective from the start because, with Lorraine's guidance, I created MY SYSTEM, MYSELF! By empowering students to be responsible for their own learning through the use of calendars, 4 question quizzes and data curves, the Total Teacher provides constant , immediate and compelling feedback for both teachers and students that makes learning both relevant and exciting." Michelle Johnson "Lorraine Milark has truly defined what "teaching" is all about! Her program makes teachers want to teach and students want to learn--the way it's supposed to be!! "
Lynne Sperling "Total teacher is inspiring! As a student teacher I already couldn't wait to get into the classroom, but after being exposed to Total Teacher and Lorraine herself, I’m even more antsy! I’ve already started using some of her philosophy in my internships and the kids respond like you wouldn’t believe! They actually get it—and what a great feeling! Thanks Lorraine!"
Kali Davis "The Total Teacher is a powerful book..... Lorraine has been able to put in writing a format for success which brings excitement, professionalism and a whole new perspective for business management as well as teachers."
