When it comes to “getting things done”, we often frame it as a matter of effort, motivation, or behavior. But executive functioning research tells a more nuanced, and more hopeful, story.
In this free live webinar, we invite you to rethink what executive functioning really is and learn research-backed ways to help students develop good habits in the classroom.
We’ll explore how executive function and social-emotional learning are deeply connected and how students build skills like planning, focus, emotional regulation, and follow-through through relationships, routines, and supportive learning environments, not pressure or punishment.
To make this session practical, we’ll also share specific classroom strategies that support executive functioning through routines, choice, organization, and motivation.
In just one focused hour, you’ll gain tools and insights you can put into practice tomorrow.
What You’ll Get:
A clear, research-grounded understanding of executive functioning and how it shows up in daily classroom moments
Insight into how emotions, relationships, and learning environments directly impact students’ ability to plan, persist, and regulate
Practical classroom strategies that support executive functioning through routines, choice, organization, and motivation
Tools for creating learning environments and instructional practices that don’t overwhelm learners and help them stay on track.
You’ll experience the strategies as a learner, reflect on your own classroom practices, and leave with clear next steps to better support students in building the executive functioning skills they need to learn and thrive.
