In this energizing episode of Aspire to Lead, we welcome back Mitch Weathers, the brilliant author and CEO of Organized Binder, to uncover the powerful link between student regulation and executive functioning. Mitch shares game-changing insights and practical strategies to help students master focus, time management, and self-control—skills that serve as the foundation for both academic achievement and life-long success. Tune in for a conversation filled with innovative ideas, empowering stories, and tools you can bring straight into your classroom! About Mitch Weathers: Mitch became a gifted teacher because he was a mediocre student. Mitch rarely felt comfortable in the classroom. In fact, it took him 7 years for him to graduate from college. Choosing to become a teacher, Mitch was fortunate enough to experience school as if it was happening all around him. He was unsure how to jump into his learning with confidence. There is a loneliness to experiencing your education as a passive object as opposed to an active subject. From the moment he entered the classroom Mitch relied on his personal experiences as a learner. He recognized that what we teach, the content or curriculum, is secondary. We must first lay the foundation for learning before we can get to teaching. Mitch designed Organized Binder to empower teachers with a simple but research-backed strategy to teach students executive functioning skills while protecting the time needed for content instruction. The secret is found in establishing a predictable learning routine that serves to foster safer learning spaces. When students get practice with executive functions by virtue we set them up for success.
