Mary Kult, on All Kinds of People 12/29/25

This week on All Kinds of People with Dr. Joe, meet Mary Kult, the energetic and compassionate kindergarten teacher named Teacher of the Year for both South View Elementary and Muncie Community Schools.   Mary shares her journey from being homeschooled in Bloomington to earning her master’s in literacy at Ball State — and now leading a bustling kindergarten classroom where every day is an adventure. She talks about classroom organization, the joy of seeing young minds grow, and the importance of family relationships in helping students thrive.   Hear how she uses data (and even a few Excel sheets!) to personalize learning, how she supports future educators as a mentor to Ball State students, and how she balances teaching with her love of puzzles, podcasts, and Pacers basketball.   All Kinds of People with Dr. Joe — celebrating Muncie’s educators and community leaders, on 92.5 FM, 1340 AM, and streaming anytime at wmunmuncie.com. #WMUN #AllKindsOfPeople #TeacherOfTheYear #MuncieCommunitySchools #SouthViewElementary #Education #DrJoe
