Today we're excited to share an episode from De Facto Leaders, hosted by Dr. Karen Dudek-Brannan.

Karen announces the release of her new compression course, “The School Leader’s Guide to Executive Functioning Support.”

You can learn more about the course here: https://drkarenspeech.lpages.co/school-leaders-guide-to-executive-functioning-support/

In this session, Karen shares why she created this program, what parents and professionals have shared with her when she talks about executive functioning, and how she approaches educating professionals about this important and relevant topic.

Imagine a school where:

✅ Students are better equipped to handle challenges and setbacks

✅ Teachers spend less time managing behavior and more time on meaningful instruction

✅ Academic performance improves across the board

✅ Your team feels empowered and supported, rather than overwhelmed by another initiative

Introducing: The School Leader's Guide to Executive Functioning Support

After years of developing frameworks to support these essential cognitive skills and helping professionals implement them in their own schools, I've created a comprehensive guide specifically for school leaders like you.
