This is the ninth post in a series that highlights the speakers of this year’s 36th Annual Executive Function Conference, which will focus on promoting resilience and equity for ALL students.
On November 11–12, we are honored to host three panels of educators and experts who will address the close connections between executive function, stress, persistence, and school performance. Conference attendees can view these panels live and submit questions for the panelists. These presentations will also be recorded, and conference attendees will have access to them until January 31, 2022.
