Nip in the bud nuggets with Dr Bettina Hohnen: How can I use executive functioning frameworks to improve teaching and learning?

This clip is from my podcast with Dr Bettina Hohnan - Neurodiversity: how to parent and educate neurodiverse brains effectively.In this clip we discuss the executive function framework and how, as teachers, we can understand a child’s behaviour as a response that may be a skills deficit rather than just bad behaviour. In this way we can learn how to develop children’s skills, setting them up for life in order to be more effective both as a learner and as a social being. We also talk about Carol Dweck and her theory of the importance of teaching children about growth mindset. Bettina shares how an understanding of the executive function framework sits nicely with this theory and enables to teachers to adopt both as part of the way they work with and develop the children in their classes. If you’ve heard of growth mindset versus fixed mindset,  you need to listen to this clip to hear how this simple but effective strategy will  help teach children to understand themselves as having the capacity to change and to learn the skills they  need to be successful in what ever they are doing.Dr Bettina Hohnen is  also partnering with Nip in the Bud to do weekly vlogs answering your questions and sharing further advice.Dr Bettina Hohnen website (including links to her books:The Incredible Teenage Brain by Bettina Hohnen, Jane Gilmour and Tara MurphyHow to have incredible conversations with your child by Jane Gilmour and Bettina Hohnenhttps://drbettinahohnen.com/Smart but Scattered: The revolutionary "Executive Skills' approach to helping kids reach their potential by Peg Dawson and Richard Guarehttps://www.smartbutscatteredkids.com/Executive Function skills in the classroom: overcoming barriers, building strategies by Laurie Faith, Carol-Anne Bush Please follow Dr Bettina Hohnen on social media for tips and ideas about strengthening relationships with your kidsInstagram: drbettinahohnenTwitter: bettinahohnenDisclaimer: The content provided in the Nip in the Bud podcasts is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
