“In this empowering book, McIver and Dawson give educators a hopeful, hands‑on roadmap for helping K–8 learners thrive. By teaching EF skills, teachers can transform daily challenges into opportunities for growth. Filled with real classroom examples and practical strategies, this guide shows how small shifts in instruction can lead to big breakthroughs in student success. McIver is a master teacher who understands the dilemmas teachers face, and Dawson is my most trusted expert on EF skills. The combination of research-driven strategies and empathy for today's classroom teachers makes this book a 'must have.'â€--Ellen Braaten, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychology, Harvard Medical School; Executive Director, Learning and Emotional Assessment Program, Massachusetts General Hospital“It is rare to find a resource that helps you make impactful changes in the classroom without feeling overwhelmed or having to completely rethink core curriculum. This unique book does just that. McIver's hands-on expertise with these strategies and her relevant classroom experiences are evident in every chapter. The lessons presented in this guide will benefit students across grade levels, with or without learning challenges. My team of special educators and I will use this book to unlock students' potential, one strategy at a time, at a student-centered pace.â€--Sandy Maldonado, MEd, Regional Director of Special Programs, Imagine Schools, Texas Campuses“Executive functioning skills are the quiet foundations of everything children do, shaping how they learn, grow in independence, and navigate daily life. In 30 years of teaching and inclusive education, this is the book I have been waiting for. What I love most about this book is its practical, manageable approach. Instead of overwhelming teachers, it invites them to focus on one skill at a time, so confidence grows for adults and children alike. Warm, accessible, and genuinely useful, this is a book I will happily recommend.â€--Berna Bouwer, MEd, Director of Inclusion, Al Rabeeh School and Al Rabeeh Academy, United Arab Emirates-
