Yet more importantly, they are teaching their students how to learn and that takes executive functioning. Weathers book provides research-backed, immediately applicable strategies to support the development of executive functioning in ones classroom. Its beyond helpful, whether you finish feeling validated, get good reminders, or new learning. Its worth the read." -- Jennifer Abrams"Im not exaggerating when I say that this is a must read for every single teacher on the planet! Weathers provides actionable, yet realistic steps, for teachers to take to consistently create more predictable learning spaces for all students. This work has a profound impact on all students, but chaos navigators, in particular, benefit. Chaos Navigators are our young people who are giving everything they have just to survive the lack of predictability they experience every movement outside of school. When teachers commit to the strategies outlined in this book they create havens for students, moments in their day that are safer, and that makes all the difference. Our chaos navigators are more likely to lean into their education and take the risks inherent to learning if they are in classrooms like those described in this book. Thank you for this absolute gift, Mitch!" -- Jaz Ampaw-Farr"In Executive Functions for Every Classroom, Mitch Weathers makes the case for universal classroom routines that free up students′ mental bandwidth to focus on learning. Rather than struggle through the day trying to navigate different expectations in every classroom, students can rely on predictable structures for starting and ending every class, organizing their work, and keeping track of their progress. Today′s students are struggling with motivation and self-discipline. Ignoring fads and hype, this book outlines simple processes every school can put in place to get students to believe in themselves and develop the habits they′ll need for success in school and in life. Executive Functions for Every Classroom will become an instant classic and will transform the learning and trajectory of generations of students." -- Justin Baeder"This book is a masterclass on how to create a predictable learning routine that guarantees your students′ success. Mitch is my go-to executive functions expert and he′s shared what works with you here." -- Danny Bauer"This text would be an outstanding start for a staff-wide book study. Systemic change geared towards altering a school culture where every student is empowered to succeed is the goal of this book. It all begins with a caring teacher providing students tools that promote executive function skills." -- D. Allan Bruner"Full of simple, doable actions and clear, engaging examples to bring ideas to life, this book is an essential friend to bring clarity and organisation into your classroom." -- Becky Carlzon"Executive functions are the invisible gears that we all need to be successful. When we neglect to teach them explicitly and with modeling, our students suffer in disengagement and inequity. This book is the essential guide for teachers hoping to make learning more equitable, engaging, and enlightening!" -- Ariel Curry"After reading Mitch′s book, Im a big fan. As I was reading, the thought that kept occurring to me was man, if everyone did this, so many kids would do so much better in school, and theyd enjoy it more too!" -- Jennifer Gonzalez, EdD"We often hear about goals to foster students who are lifelong learners and Weathers has outlined a systematic, logical, and easy to implement structure for maximizing students′ executive function. His Daily Routine teaches students how to be organized, avoids overtaxing on their cognitive loads and reduces the time and effort required for teachers to plan. Every educator who wants their students to be actively engaged in the process of learning, focus their attention on academic goals, and have the skills to be successful should read Executive Functions for Every Classroom." -- Connie Hamilton"Mitchs book is the perfect combination of school-site anecdotes, research-based practices, and personal reflections. As an author of time management books for teachers (and the mom of four kids myself!), I was quite literally riveted learning about the differences between agendas and planners, and I found myself reconsidering some of my former teaching routines. This text is a valuable resource of ideas, activities and templates you can put into practice the very next day." -- Maia Heyck-Merlin"Executive Functioning has been shown to be one of the characteristics that helps young people grow into great leaders, and this world needs more effective leaders in every arena. Through clear language, and powerful stories, Mitch shares strategies and simple solutions to help teach this critical skill in every classroom." -- Jethro Jones"I LOVED this book. Every teacher, including adult educators, should be able to use or adapt practices in their learning environment by using this book. Learn what executive function is, how executive dysfunction impacts learners, and, most importantly, how to design routines to ensure all learners have the tools to be focused, organized, and purposeful. All the strategies are supported by research, and the evidence-based practices that Mitch outlines seem totally within reach. What a fantastic read!" -- Katie Novak, EdD"In Executive Functions for Every Classroom, Mitch Weathers brilliantly breaks down what executive functions are, why they are critical to our students′ success, and how to teach them in any setting. With this book, our students will achieve in school, and in life. There is wisdom on every page!" -- Alex Kajitani"Executive Function for Every Student by Mitch Weathers is an indispensable and powerful guide that addresses the critical issue of disengagement and dysfunction in students and offers practical solutions to foster self-regulation and academic success.
