S5 Episode 8: Ben’s Bells and Reminders of Intentional Kindness

How familiar are you with the kindness movement known as Ben’s Bells? In this week’s episode you will have a chance to learn more about the visible and emotional work of the Ben’s Bells movement in Tucson, AZ from the organization’s Director of Education, Laura Groenwald, PhD.  Ben’s Bells was founded by Jeannette Maré as an incredible tribute to her son that has continued through moments of kindness. In this week’s podcast, we hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to learn about micro moments of connection, how small forms of kindness help to sustain us and connect us as humans, and how we can be intentional about the ways we build self awareness.  To continue your learning about Ben’s Bells Kind Campus and how you can get involved, visit the Ben’s Bells website at bensbells.org.

Being an educator in the 21st century is indescribably complex. There’s a constant pressure to meet standards and help students achieve, but there’s also a need to allow learners to color outside the lines in an effort to prompt creativity. To support educators along the continuum, the Center developed “3Ps in a Pod” to further dissect practice, policy, and passion in the field of education.
