If executive functioning is something you’re thinking more about right now, you will find this 👇🏽conversation helpful.
I really appreciated the opportunity to join @MisterCavey on @TeachersOnFire w/ my coauthor, @S_Oberle, to talk through what this looks like in K–3 classrooms.
I wrote a book with this guy and despite no one else having it yet, it’s already #5 on the Amazon spec Ed list. It’s also 40,782 in all books so…you should def check it out.
And let us know when it gets to you!
(Ps it’s for gen ed AND spec ed)
