This book presents research-based strategies for helping students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally by harnessing the dynamic interplay of executive function (EF) and emotional regulation. The expert editors and contributors—including EF pioneer Lynn Meltzer—explain how teachers can support EF and emotional regulation in their daily classroom practice with all learners, including neurodiverse students. Chapters describe innovative ways to build students’ ability to set goals, think flexibly, stay on task, and manage their behavior, alongside crucial capacities for reducing anxiety and stress. Case vignettes illustrate how the interventions discussed help to enhance student engagement while fostering resilience and independent learning.
