Executive Function in the Classroom | Teaching Strategies That Work for EVERY Student S2 E12

In this episode, I’m joined by Jocelyn Mayo, specialist teacher and education consultant from Zestar Education, to unpack what executive function (EF) really means and why it’s the missing link in helping both neurodivergent and neurotypical students thrive.

We discuss:

✅ The key executive function skills students rely on every day

✅ How teachers can plan lessons that support all learners (including ADHD, and ASC students)

✅ Practical classroom strategies that make learning easier for everyone

✅ Why understanding EF helps reduce anxiety and boost self-regulation

This conversation is a must-listen for teachers who want to make lessons more inclusive without adding to their workload.
