For me, this book is needed in classrooms across the country. As soon as I started to read the book, I instantly thought of students and classrooms that this book can and will impact. Executive functioning skills are necessary all throughout life and this book provides the foundational strategies to help students succeed beyond the classroom. It is the perfect blend of instructional and reflective strategies that allow the student to take ownership of their learning while also providing teachers with every day strategies to use in their classroom.

Skimmed parts of it. This is designed primarily for classroom teachers with some tips applicable to parents.

Read for work.
Chock full of little considerations that hopefully have a big impact.
