Teaching and Learning Transformation Center workshop for instructors:
In this session, we will discuss 12 executive functioning skills essential for success in school, work, and life, and how playing with "personas" can assist learners with these skills. These techniques work especially well with neurodivergent learners but can be used with all students. Come ready to learn, discuss, and play!
