Executive Function Training for Educators

The Jones-Gordon School is excited to offer an instructional series designed to improve the way we support students of all ages who struggle with executive function. This may look like procrastinating (planning/time management), a messy room or backpack (organization), or even just “getting stuck” (problem-solving). We have worked to compile years of expertise in the field of executive function into a digestible series of programs that will provide the skills, strategies, and knowledge necessary for educators, administrators, counselors, parents, and family members to fully understand and support all kinds of learners. Our program is uniquely designed (and customizable) to help you help your students inside and outside of the classroom, regardless of their specific needs.
