The Better Leaders Better Schools Podcast | The #1 Downloaded School Leadership Show How to Teach Executive Functions in any Classroom
Mitch doesn't teach teachers how to teach. He teaches teachers how to set students up for success. He can teach teachers how to deliver content - He is good at it, but that's not where he adds value for your school or district.
As you know, unless students develop a solid foundation for learning it does not matter how great your teachers deliver content, or how emergent the technology, or even how engaging a lesson might be. When students hone executive functioning skills, teachers' efforts to deliver content find fertile ground and everyone succeeds.
Mitch has a black belt in creating fertile ground for learning. He shows teachers how to equip students with executive functioning skills. It is possible for teachers to engage the most disengaged or disinterested students and set them up for success in school and life. That is his superpower.
