In this episode we are in a whole mood talking about Social Emotional Learning with SEL Coach Cynthia Brown!  Cynthia White Brown has been in education for  30-years.  She spent the first 20 years of her career as an elementary school teacher and literacy coach both at the school and district levels.  She eventually changed districts to take a position as a literacy specialist.  After serving as an administrator in two elementary schools for 7 years, she returned to her love of coaching and supporting educators at the district level. She is passionate about making sure students are prepared for a successful life, as they define it, in all aspects.  Having a well rounded wholehearted life is why social and emotional learning is so important. Cynthia is also passionate about equity, diversity, and access.  She is a wife and mother of three girls.  I want for every student the same things I want for my children - happiness and a bright future. You can follow Cynthia on Twitter:  @ccw9555 and Instagram:@cynthiawbrown67SEL Opener Roller Blend 10 ml Glass Roller Bottle 8 Drops of Lemon Essential Oil 6 Drops of Peppermint Essential Oil 6 Drops of Lemongrass Essential Oil 4 Drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil 2 Drops of Orange Essential Oil Top off the bottle with your preferred carrier oil--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport the show
