for Educators

Building belonging through curiosity, compassion, and creativity.

Why We're Here

Every classroom is full of unique minds, hidden abilities, and different ways of seeing the world. Yet, students don’t always know how to celebrate those differences—or even talk about them.

That’s where Curious B.E.I.N.G.s comes in.

Inspired by the picture book Guion the Lion, our disability-informed social–emotional learning (SEL) program helps students see differences as strengths and curiosity as the first step toward connection and inclusion.

We believe that when students learn to ask why and what if, they open the door to empathy, creativity, and belonging—for everyone.

What the Program Includes

Curious B.E.I.N.G.s offers ready-to-use classroom resources for grades PreK–5 that weave together literacy, SEL, and inclusion.

Each six-lesson unit introduces key themes like:

  • Perspective: Seeing the world through someone else’s eyes
  • Hidden Abilities: Discovering your own strengths and the strengths of others
  • Celebrating Diversity: Recognizing what makes each of us special
  • Fostering Connection: Building empathy and community
  • Resilience: Learning to try again and grow through challenge
  • Belonging: Ensuring everyone feels seen, valued, and included
EDUCATOR TESTIMONIAL

"I love this lesson! I got the kids to think outside of the box and to show that not everyone is the same nor do they see everything the same. For such a young age. This was a great way to show them diversity, and being different."
Michele T.
Pre-K Teacher, Illinois
EDUCATOR TESTIMONIAL

"My class absolutely adored Guion and wanted to be just like him! They enjoyed making Guion masks and we went around looking at things in the classroom through Guion's eyes. Perception has become a common vocabulary word for us now! Very valuable!"
Holly S.
Second Grade Teacher, Colorado

Join Our Pilot Program

We’re currently partnering with a limited number of schools to pilot the Curious B.E.I.N.G.s program.
Pilot schools receive:

  • Full access to the six-lesson unit (PreK–5)
  • Teacher training and support
  • An author visit (virtual or in-person)
  • Opportunities to provide feedback and help shape future curriculum

If your school is passionate about inclusion, curiosity, and kindness, we’d love to work with you.

Join the Pilot

Together, let’s grow a generation that’s curious enough to connect—and kind enough to include. ????

Educator Testimonials

"Guion the Lion is a beautifully illustrated book that aims to help students understand that all kids see things in different perspectives and to celebrate that difference."
Stephanie G.
First Grade Teacher, Maryland
"Our kids really engaged with Guion the Lion. They loved the colorful artwork and did a lot of talking about how Guion was so happy and then discouraged when his friend Rae could not see what he saw. The discussion was wonderful!"

School Counselor, Illinois
"Guion the Lion is a beautiful book with a heartwarming story. The lessons that come with the book are fun and engaging."
