We Start With the Gatekeeper Skill

SUPPORT

“Few teachers (29 percent) are highly satisfied with current professional development offerings…. Professional development formats strongly supported by district leadership and principals, such as professional learning communities and coaching, are currently not meeting teachers’ needs.”

REFOCUS

“Recent advances in psychology and brain science are now suggesting that a child's ability to inhibit distracting thoughts and stay focused may be a fundamental cognitive skill, one that plays a big part in academic success from preschool on…. The scientific name for this set of skills is ‘executive function,’ or EF."

ACHIEVE

“As [she] reported at the recent convention of the Association for Psychological Science in Chicago, kids in both traditional and experimental classrooms were given a battery of EF tests following two years of preschool…. The EF-trained children outperformed the traditionally educated kids on every single test.”
