In this episode of Innovating Education, host Dr. Riley Williams sits down with Teresa Ramirez—award-winning author, motivational speaker, and kindness ambassador—to explore how cultivating kindness at home and in the classroom can transform children’s lives.
Theresa shares her personal journey, sparked by a tragic school shooting, that led her to champion a movement centered around everyday acts of kindness. From encouraging parents to step into the role of “CEO of the family” to guiding educators on how to weave empathy into lesson plans, Theresa offers practical strategies that don’t require overhauls—just intention.
In this conversation, we dive into:
✔️ How to model kindness through simple, daily moments
✔️ School-wide and classroom activities that foster connection
✔️ Addressing bullying and burnout with restorative and empathetic approaches
✔️ How parents and teachers can work together to reinforce social-emotional growth
This episode is a reminder that kindness isn’t just soft—it’s strategic, essential, and impactful.
