Nicki Dingraudo had the most amazing teacher in first grade.She could tell every detail of her classroom, and she’s the reason Nicki fell in love with education. She knew teachers played a role in teaching students how to be kind and how to be human. After moving to Arizona from the suburbs of Chicago, she was able to fulfill her dream of becoming a teacher. But it wasn’t what she had imagined. Nicki had a really rough time and she would find herself crying on the way to work.

In finding other teachers online, Nicki felt a sense of belonging and deep connection. She knew other teachers shared the same experiences and could empathize with her, especially on days when she felt like she wasn’t doing her best as a teacher.

After a couple years in the classroom, she began to look for some extra inspiration and started her little corner of the teacher Instagram world, which she called “The Sprinkle Topped Teacher”. Through her posts and resources she provides on her site, Nicki created a support system for teachers who are on the frontlines of shaping the lives of future generations. In this episode, Nicki talks about why she built a strong community of teachers, how we can teach our kids kindness in the classroom, and ways we can practice gratitude in our own lives.
