Improving Executive Skills for School Success

Learn evidence-based strategies to embed executive skills in your classroom; empower your mind and emotions; boost student working memory; raise self and emotional regulations skills; reduce anxiety and declutter disorganized minds; help students pay attention and deal with ADHD; use games, AI, and VR to improve executive skills; and develop self-regulated, thinking readers and writers.
