Over the course of the five 2-hour workshops, the PLC will get together to collaborate, learn about, and discuss the importance of Executive Functioning (EF) skills. Together we will investigate how EF relates to the wellness of ourselves and our students and will investigate the strategies that improve EF and lead to improved teaching and learning. This interactive PLC is designed to provide the opportunity for teachers and leaders to bring resources and strategies back to their school community. Dawn Summerfield, along with FariaPD, will share their expertise and facilitate the dialogue each month as the PLC learns, shares, and grows together.

Over the course of the 5 workshop sessions, each participant will have the opportunity to design and work on a personal project in the area of executive functioning, stress management or general school wellness.  

Between workshop meetings, each member of the PLC will have a 1:1 coaching session with Dawn to discuss progress, answer questions or brainstorm ideas and next steps.
