From a young age, Leslie DeLain learned respect for the Earth, the power of education, and the importance of being kind to all people, regardless of race, gender, or religion. These principles led her to a career in education and a passion for sustainable living. On a small farm, Leslie and her family promote sustainable lifestyles and healthy living. Planting trees, tending to gardens, and caring for animals prioritizes living with the environment and appreciating the natural world. Leslie also teaches yoga, guiding others towards mindfulness and peaceful living. Leslie values and embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. She recognizes the power of mindset. At Kennedy Middle School, Leslie founded and advised Young Writers’ Club, a brave and safe space for students to write and illustrate. The club serves as a place where students can be creative, courageous, and inclusive. At West Bend High School, Leslie continues to create learning environments that instill creativity, encourage a growth mindset, and make education accessible to all. Through her work as a Literacy Specialist and Instructional Coach, Leslie dedicates time and energy to finding ways to help students and staff recognize and reach their own potential. Leslie’s journey reinforces the idea that to build a sustainable world with equitable opportunity, education and mindset are key. The doctoral program in Educational Sustainability at UW-Stevens Point will provide the knowledge and experience necessary to build sustainable systems that promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and growth mindsets for all.
