Executive Functioning Classroom Guide for K–12 Educators
Sometimes the issue isn't simply knowing what to do. A student may understand the expectation but still need more practice with the capacities required to carry it out consistently under real conditions.
The Classroom Starter Guide serves as a practical starting point for helping educators recognize and practice the executive capacities behind performance and behavior.
Knowing what to do isn’t the same as having the capacity to do it consistently.
