About Claude Larson

Claude Larson is a 25-year veteran of teaching in New Jersey public schools, primarily middle school science. She maintains two core beliefs about education and life as guiding principles for decisions. First, education can give anyone, despite their circumstances, power to direct their future. And second, well developed life habits have the power to give each day more value. Her choices, both large and small, are made using the same practices presented in her books and workshops. They are vehicles to help you find your unique path and contribute your greatness to the world. You can follow Claude on Instagram @thepowerofchoiceforsuccess for more inspiration and ideas.
