 Teach some of the most important skills your students will ever need! 

''Please, try harder.'' ''Please, pay attention.'' ''Please, behave.'' Most students want to do what it takes to succeed, but sometimes that?s easier said than done. Executive function skills such as self-regulation, focus, planning, and time management must be taught, and they take practice. When you work on them in class, you give students the tools they need to not only learn but also monitor themselves.
