418: Why Learners Rush Through Everything (Educational Therapy Serires)

Rachel Kapp, M.Ed., BCET, and Stephanie Pitts, M.Ed., BCET explore why so many learners rush through their work—and why it’s rarely about laziness or apathy. They unpack how executive functioning challenges, anxiety, time blindness, and cognitive load contribute to rushing, and explain why telling learners to “slow down” often doesn’t work. The episode reframes rushing as a skills-based issue and shares practical, supportive strategies that help learners build accuracy, awareness, and confidence without increasing pressure or shame.   Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/learnsmarterpodcast   How to connect with us: Join our e-mail list Rachel’s Kapp Educational Therapy Group website Steph’s My Ed Therapist website  @learnsmarterpodcast, @kappedtherapy, @myedtherapist
