Mitch Weathers & Sarah Oberle: Putting Executive Function into Every Classroom

From designing school-wide organizational systems for high schoolers to studying the science of learning in the earliest grades, Mitch Weathers and Sarah Oberle have spent decades observing how executive function shapes student learning. In this episode, they join us to unpack what executive function actually is, and how every K–3 teacher can start supporting it tomorrow without overhauling their entire practice. Mitch and Sarah also dig into the science behind working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility, and what their new book, Executive Functions for Every K–3 Classroom, offers teachers hungry for research-backed, classroom-ready strategies.
