Mindful Literacy Podcast

Teaching is not just what you do: It is your vocation. It is your life’s work. It is not for the faint of heart. And if you are going to make it to retirement, you are going to need a tribe of teachers standing with you. This podcast will provide you with the inspiration, encouragement, stories, tips, tools, and the mindset you need to be at your best to serve your students. Season 1 will include interviews with brilliant educators who have influenced Dr. Bennett's career. Jessica Bennett is an intervention specialist who has a passion for literacy development, special education, and mindfulness techniques. She has her Ph.D. in special education, degrees in deaf education and psychology and is a 500 hour registered yoga teacher who focuses on contemplative practices and mindfulness techniques both on and off the yoga mat. The reason behind creating this podcast is to build awareness for our non-profit: Mindful Literacy Columbus, whose mission is to cultivate literacy and mindfulness practices with children, their families, and their teachers.
