ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
The latest episode of the Prepared School Psych podcast, host Jenny Ponzuric introduces a four-part mini-series focusing on executive functioning. The series aims to address executive functioning challenges not just among students but also among the adults on campus, such as administrators, speech pathologists, and school psychologists. Jenny is joined by Dr. Amy Merenda, a licensed educational psychologist, to discuss these challenges and announce the Executive Functioning Academy Educator Edition. This academy will feature nine live sessions covering twelve executive functioning skills, providing educators with strategies to improve both their work and home lives. The podcast highlights the importance of creating an 'executive functioning flight plan,' akin to an IEP, to help educators consistently apply these skills. The episode concludes with details about the academy’s registration, which opens in early May, offering both summer and fall cohort options.
