About Me

My name is Jennifer Harvey Ladinsky. I'm an elementary school teacher, reading specialist, mindfulness practitioner and mindful education coach. I've been teaching for many years and place tremendous value on creating respectful, safe, connected classroom and school communities.

In addition to teaching, I lead workshops for educators, parents and caregivers who seek to nurture mindful awareness both in their personal lives and in their work with children. I also facilitate professional development for educators through yearlong teacher cohorts and in-class coaching.

I've created this site as an extension to my workshops, with the intention of sharing practices and resources I've found to be supportive both in my personal life and in my work with students. I'm passionate about mindful children's literature and love to share ways you might use these books in your teaching. There are always new and wonderful titles coming out so I try to update my book list often!

Below, you'll find a sample of trainings I've completed and some places I've been honored to lead workshops, professional development and coaching in mindful education. As a lifelong learner, I continue to grow through my personal practice, through ongoing participation in retreats and trainings, through my teaching practice and, always, through learning from my students.

I believe we all benefit from connecting with others along this mindful path so thank you so much for being here!

May you find this site helpful along your journey.

With Gratitude,

Jennifer xo
