Are your students struggling with managing materials and performing well on assessments?
Many academic challenges stem from underdeveloped executive functioning skills, essential mental processes like working memory, flexible thinking, and self-regulation. These skills are the bridge between social-emotional learning (SEL) and academic content.
The Effective Student Method:
The Effective Student Method equips teachers with structured lessons to build students' executive functioning skills, covering organization, time management, study skills, and test preparation. Created by Rachael Barron, a parent and seasoned academic coach, with curriculum design by Danielle LeFevers, M.Ed., this method provides proven resources to help students, parents, and teachers support academic success.
