The large-scale shift from in-person learning to remote and hybrid learning during the pandemic revealed the critical role executive skills play in supporting learning in students of all ages.

As students return to classrooms this fall, teachers and other school-based professionals have an opportunity to empower students to take control of their own learning through a focus on executive skills.

Join Dr. Dawson as she teaches you a student-driven approach that engages students in a discussion about their learning, what they learned from remote and hybrid learning, and how to incorporate their input in a curriculum that teaches them how to:

• Assess their own executive skill strengths and challenges
• Identify barriers to effective learning and overcome those barriers
• Troubleshoot when strategies don’t work
• Set goals that are personal, meaningful, and attainable

Students will be in greater control of their learning and teachers will be satisfied in seeing movement toward self-management and self-determination in the students they work with!
