Dina Evans

Dina P. Evans has been a Reading Specialist at Mount Pleasant Elementary School for the past 13 years. Holding a master's degree in reading from East Stroudsburg University, and in active coursework for Mindfulness Certification, Dina’s passion has long been promoting Mindfulness-Based Learning and embedding literacy practices together.

She has been active and engaged in bringing mindfulness to her past school district, especially focused on its impact on staff and the whole child. She is an active part of helping her schools become Trauma Informed, helping the mindset change to respond and understand the way trauma impacts a student’s availability to learn.

Most recently, Ms. Evans has begun serving a new community in the lower part of DE, building opportunities for safe spaces of practice and bringing the school’s families together to support their own needs to then better serve their students. She is a Mindfulness-Based Learning Micro-Credential graduate and continues to learn and grow in her MBSR certification and further SEL certifications.
