Executive Function in Action

Executive function isn’t just a set of academic skills—it’s the foundation for how students plan, focus, regulate emotions, and follow through. In this highly interactive workshop, participants will step inside the experience of executive dysfunction through a series of simulations that mirror what students face every day.

Participants will leave with a clear framework for supporting executive function at three levels:

• Student – practical tools, self-regulation strategies, and mentor language
• Environment – classroom and home/dorm routines that reduce cognitive load
• System – schoolwide practices and structures that create clarity and predictability
