From July 21 - 25, 2025, Learning & the Brain is offering a Summer Institute on the oceanside campus of UCSB.
How do executive functions impact student success in reading, writing, and math? This institute will provide practical strategies and interventions to help educators support students struggling with executive function challenges that affect academic performance.
You will gain a deep understanding of how executive functions influence learning and classroom productivity, with a special focus on their role in reading comprehension, written expression, and math proficiency. The institute will also explore the critical link between motivation and skill development, helping you better engage students in the learning process.
Through interactive discussions and hands-on strategies, you’ll learn how to identify executive function difficulties and implement targeted interventions to help students strengthen these essential skills. Special emphasis will be placed on helping struggling learners develop self-regulation strategies that enhance their academic independence and success.
Join us for this practical, research-informed institute and leave with actionable tools to improve student learning and engagement in your classroom! This institute is hands-on and is limited to 45 participants.
