Online Courses for Teachers

Solving Core Executive Function Challenges (K-12)

This online course helps teachers support students with executive function challenges by focusing on three core skills: working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibition control. Teachers will explore the metacognitive and social-emotional aspects of executive function, including the role of motivation. The course provides practical strategies to improve attention, flexible thinking, self-regulation, and classroom management. Additionally, teachers will learn techniques to enhance students’ organization, time management, and task management skills. By the end of this course, teachers will feel more confident in their quest to leverage best executive function practices as they guide their students to sustainable learning.

"The articles were so helpful, easy to read/understand and engaging. I found all the strategies to be realistic things I could actually apply with students." - Christina Mahon
