Description

Are you working with students who:

  • Are challenged by organization, transitions, and meeting deadlines?
  • Find it difficult to focus, start tasks, and remember what they need to do?
  • Have trouble self-monitoring and keeping their emotions and impulses in check?

Many students lack strong executive function, the mental processes that govern planning, self-regulation, and goal-directed behavior. But fear not! 15-Minute Focus: Executive Function was written with the brain in mind and equips you with the knowledge and tools to:

  • Clarify Executive Function: Gain a clear understanding of twelve crucial skills and their impact on student success.
  • Identify Struggles: Discover the connection between emotion and learning and how to recognize signs of stress and underdeveloped executive function.
  • Empower Students: Learn practical strategies and interventions to decrease stress and develop executive function in "all kinds of minds."
  • Unlock Potential: Help your students boost their productivity, academic success, behavior, social skills, and autonomy.

This transformative guide is your resource for:

  • Evidence-Based Practices: Backed by research, these life-changing strategies appeal to students of all ages.
  • Actionable Advice: Learn simple tips and quick techniques you can implement immediately in your classroom, home, counseling session, and life.
  • Downloads and Reproducible Handouts: Make your job easier by helping students stress less, learn more, and get things done!

Stop wondering why your students struggle. Start empowering them to thrive!
