Research shows that planning, organization, and self-regulation predict college retention and success better than IQ or raw talent. These executive function skills are essential for all students and can be developed at any stage. Yet most students are never explicitly taught them.

Faculty are uniquely positioned to change this.

In this practical, research-informed webinar, Brandon Slade draws on his work with thousands of students and educators to show how small, strategic shifts can lead to meaningful improvements in both student success and faculty workload.
