231: Teaching Executive Functions to All Students
All students can benefit from learning and practicing executive functions, the skills we use to control our attention, keep ourselves organized, initiate tasks, and manage time. But where do we find the time to teach them? In this episode, educator and author Mitch Weathers shares his proven 5-step system for integrating executive functions into regular class time without taking away from the regular lesson. Thanks to EVERFI (https://cultofpedagogy.com/everfi) and The Wired Classroom (https://cultofpedagogy.com/wired) for sponsoring this episode.
