313. Executive Function Strategies for Leaders, Teachers, and Students with Candace Heiken

I’m speaking to Candace Heiken: the founder of Lively Minds Institute and Cerebrate. With over 25 years in education, Candace is on a mission to cultivate independent, life-long learners through the development of executive function skills, and she’s here to share why prioritizing executive function instruction leads to an all-round win for everyone in your school community.   Join us on this episode to discover how most difficult classroom behaviors can be easily linked to an executive function deficiency, and why it’s a skillset worth learning, not just for students but leaders and staff members too. Candace is framing executive functioning as a normal developmental aspect of learning and teaching, and showing us simple ways to make it relevant and valuable to your students.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/313
