**Teaching and Evaluating Executive Functioning Skills with Mitch Weathers** May 08, 2024
Show notes

Dive into a dynamic conversation with Mitch Weathers as we explore practical techniques for teaching executive functioning skills to students. Discover how to cultivate safe learning environments and understand the crucial role of structure and routine in education. Gain insights into assessing students' mastery of executive functioning skills and learn strategies to enhance their overall academic success. Join us for an insightful episode packed with actionable advice for educators seeking to empower their students with essential life skills. About Mitch Weathers: Mitch became a gifted teacher because he was a mediocre student. Mitch rarely felt comfortable in the classroom. In fact, it took him 7 years for him to graduate from college. Choosing to become a teacher, Mitch was fortunate enough to experience school as if it was happening all around him. He was unsure how to jump into his learning with confidence. There is a loneliness to experiencing your education as a passive object as opposed to an active subject. From the moment he entered the classroom Mitch relied on his personal experiences as a learner. He recognized that what we teach, the content or curriculum, is secondary. We must first lay the foundation for learning before we can get to teaching. Mitch designed Organized Binder to empower teachers with a simple but research-backed strategy to teach students executive functioning skills while protecting the time needed for content instruction. The secret is found in establishing a predictable learning routine that serves to foster safer learning spaces. When students get practice with executive functions by virtue we set them up for success.
