What To Do About Executive Functioning
Episode 215
Monday, 5 October, 2026
How in the world can a student demonstrate every executive functioning skill you practice in a counseling group perfectly...and still fail their classes because they don’t turn anything in?Happens all the time.Because knowing how to do something is not the same as actually being able to do it when it counts.In this episode, we’re looking at why planners, checklists, and executive functioning small groups don’t always translate into better functioning in the classroom, and what we need to be looking at instead.Because the goal isn’t to get kids better at “executive functioning.”The goal is to help them function better where it actually matters.********Want support with real-world strategies that actually work on your campus? We’re doing that every day in the School for School Counselors Mastermind. Come join us! ********All names, stories, and case studies in this episode are fictionalized composites drawn from real-world circumstances. Any resemblance to actual students, families, or school personnel is coincidental.
