'As you read, you will not only fi nd practical strategies to use tomorrow, but also the courage to centre what matters most - empowering learners for lifelong success.' Dr Shyam BarrIn a world of rapid change, students need more than content - they need the skills to think, adapt and thrive. Traditionally, education has focused on what to learn, but the real power lies in teaching students how to learn. Dr Rosalyn Muir presents a compelling case in Developing Executive Functioning in the Primary Years: SOWATT can we do to empower learners? for intentionally teaching students how to "drive their learning", by developing the executive functions and self-regulation skills that enable lifelong learning.Building on the success of her earlier work, Developing Executive Functioning in the Early Years: SOWATT can I do?, Dr Muir uses the practical SOWATT framework - Self-regulation, Organisation, Working memory, Attention, Thinking flexibly and Thinking about thinking - to guide teachers in making educational aspirations a reality. Practical, evidence-based and inspiring, this book equips teachers with the tools to develop capable, self-directed learners - ready for today and prepared for tomorrow.
