Supporting Executive Function Through Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation Virtual 3-hour session presented by Melanie Anderson / Slice of Mindfulness-8:30-11:30am

Many students struggle with attention, organization, flexibility, task initiation, and self-control, and those challenges are often intensified by stress, dysregulation, and overwhelm. This 3-hour summer live virtual institute helps educators understand how mindfulness, emotional regulation, and executive functioning work together to support student success and more effective classroom learning. Participants will gain a practical overview of the eight core executive functions, explore how executive functioning challenges often present in students with ADHD, and learn classroom strategies that support attention, planning, organization, flexibility, and self-regulation. Grounded in the belief that regulation comes before higher-level learning, the institute includes mindfulness practices, Collaborative Problem Solving, classroom routines, and simple data collection tools that help reduce overwhelm and build student agency. Designed for general education teachers, special education teachers, ENL teachers, teaching assistants, aides, and support staff, this live virtual institute provides practical, immediately usable tools for supporting a wide range of learners. Eligible for 3 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1/2 Consortium seat. If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.
