S4 E6: Supporting Student Executive Functions Book Talk w/ authors Lisa Carey & Alexis Reid

Executive function skills are commonly known as the skills that allow us to get things done… and are also often misunderstood. In their new book, Supporting Student Executive Functions: Insights and Strategies for Students, Lisa Carey & Alexis Reid break down this complex set of cognitive skills in an accessible and meaningful way for educators, or anyone who works (or lives) with learners, to better understand how to support the development of executive function skills. Part one discusses the neurodevelopment of executive functions and part two provides actionable suggestions to tweak or intentionally build supports into any learning environment.

In this episode Gerald interviews his sister and co-host Alexis Reid along with her co-author, Dr. Lisa Carey about their intention for writing and getting this book out into the world and the benefits of reading this book. We all hope it reaches, teaches, and supports many!

Be curious. Be Open. Be well.
