Episode 14 | Exploring Culture on a Global Level w/ Taína Benitez


Listen Later

Fun, joy and love when chopping it up with Taína Benitez from Teach With Love Global. We talked about Exploring Culture on a Global Level. We also talked about some immersive travel trip opportunities including the Egypt 2023 trip that Roberto and Lorena Germán will be leading.

Taína is a Spanglish-speaking advocate, speaker and educator. A true lover of helping people, she has been an advocate for inclusivity, social justice and bringing opportunities to underprivileged teachers and students, for over two decades.

While working to bring a perspective that has historically been missing in travel education, Taína founded Teach With Love in 2012. In 2019, she formed the philanthropic arm, Teach With Love, Inc a 503 (c) non-profit organization dedicated to giving opportunities and resources to underrepresented and disenfranchised teacher communities. The programs are funded through TWL’s cultural immersion trips that are a seed to having culturally informed practices. Taína, a former Instructional Coach, has worked with Ministers of Education, Visionary Edu Leaders, UN Representatives, and some of the National and Global Top Teachers around the world.

Taina has spoken at over 20+ conferences giving workshops that have been featured in many media outlets, including a feature on MSNBC Latino. This episode is sponsored by Teach With Love Global. If you’re an educator who loves to travel, then join us on a trip with our friends at Teach With Love Global. They’re a woman and BIPOC owned teacher travel organization that offers stress-free teacher retreats where you can unwind with a community where you’re being understood. 100% of the proceeds go to helping underserved students travel the world. The vibe on these trips is always lingering rather than rushing where you’ll expand your cultural knowledge, gain personal breakthroughs while you travel in places like Switzerland, Peru, Spain and Egypt (where Roberto & Lorena Germán will be leading a trip in 2023!) Spots are limited, so check availability at www.teachwithlove.com.
