EP 173 SEL and The Dizz Wizz Series with Rheon Gibson

In Episode 173, Rheon Gibson and I talk about how educators are adapting in 2020 and how they incorporate SEL into their curriculum. Rheon briefly shares his past experiences and how he came about influencing the whole school system with SEL as the new school principal. We also talk about his best-selling SEL children’s book, "The Dizz Wizz Series", and how it aims to teach elementary students about confidence, self-love, and mental health. He shares his experiences on how he was inspired to develop the book and who it was even based on. You can find The Dizz Wizz Series at any local bookstore, Amazon, and Ebay.
