Better Teaching: Only Stuff That Works Podcast

It was such a joy to sit down with host Gene Tavernetti and my brilliant co-author Dr. Sarah Oberle to explore the critical role of executive functions in early learning — and why they matter so much for young students. We discuss how skills like self-regulation, organization, and cognitive flexibility lay the foundation for long-term academic success.

We also dive into their new book, Executive Functions for Every K–3 Classroom: Promoting Self-Regulation for a Strong Start and unpack practical strategies teachers can use immediately to support students in developing these essential skills.

Tune in here.
