Maia Learning Podcast

I had the privilege of joining the Maia Learning Podcast to chat with host Dr. TJ Vari.

One of the most important things that teachers can do to set students up for success is to ensure a predictable routine from classroom-to-classroom and day-to-day. TJ and I chat about why this is as important for teachers to be talking about their routines as it is for them to discuss lesson planning and curriculum resources. 

When students have a predictable routine, they can focus their attention on learning and not use their cognitive load on managing the task at hand. 

We also discuss the fact that we’re often preparing students for jobs that don’t exist yet, which is a major reason why they need executive functioning skills even over some of the other content that we teach in schools. 

We discuss the movement toward developing a Portrait of a Graduate and how durable skills, like executive functions, fit right into that conversation.
