Building the Skills Students Need to Lead, Learn, and Thrive

As schools prepare students for an increasingly complex world, academic knowledge alone is no longer enough. Students must also develop the ability to manage themselves, think critically, persevere through challenges, collaborate effectively, and take ownership of their learning. These capacities are rooted in executive function.

This practical and engaging mini-course supports K–12 educators in designing classroom environments and instructional experiences that intentionally strengthen the executive function skills students need to become productive, responsible, and empowered leaders of the future.

Aligned with the Byram Hills School District vision of preparing students to excel as citizens and leaders of the twenty-first century, participants will explore how classroom routines, instructional design, and student-driven learning experiences can build independence, organization, self-regulation, persistence, collaboration, and reflective thinking.

Across three interactive sessions and between-session classroom application experiences, educators will gain ready-to-use tools and strategies that help students:

• Strengthen organization, planning, and time management
• Improve focus, self-regulation, and task initiation
• Build persistence, collaboration, and problem-solving skills
• Develop greater independence, ownership of learning, and leadership capacity

Grounded in research and classroom practice, this course helps educators embed executive function development into everyday instruction across grade levels and content areas.
