Rallying Around 3 Keys of Executive Functioning with Mitch Weathers

Aspire to Lead

Join us for another insightful conversation with our monthly guest, Mitch Weathers, the founder of Organized Binder. In this episode, we dive deep into the critical aspects of executive functioning and explore the 3 keys that are essential for student success. Mitch shares his expertise on the importance of Tier 1 interventions and teacher efficacy in fostering executive functioning skills in all classrooms, not just special education. Discover why it’s vital to shift our focus and ensure that every student benefits from strategies that enhance their executive functioning abilities. Don’t miss this compelling discussion that challenges the status quo and advocates for inclusive and effective teaching practices. About Mitch Weathers: Mitch became a gifted teacher because he was a mediocre student. Mitch rarely felt comfortable in the classroom. In fact, it took him 7 years for him to graduate from college. Choosing to become a teacher, Mitch was fortunate enough to experience school as if it was happening all around him. He was unsure how to jump into his learning with confidence. There is a loneliness to experiencing your education as a passive object as opposed to an active subject. From the moment he entered the classroom Mitch relied on his personal experiences as a learner. He recognized that what we teach, the content or curriculum, is secondary. We must first lay the foundation for learning before we can get to teaching. Mitch designed Organized Binder to empower teachers with a simple but research-backed strategy to teach students executive functioning skills while protecting the time needed for content instruction. The secret is found in establishing a predictable learning routine that serves to foster safer learning spaces. When students get practice with executive functions by virtue we set them up for success. Follow Mitch Weathers:
