Reviews for Helping Teachers Take Control of Everyday Executive Functions: The Teaching Fix

Book Review 1: Carolee Dean, MS, CCC-SLP, CALT Speech-Language Pathologist/Dyslexia Therapist/Author: Moraine's book is a true gift to teachers. She offers practical insights to empower both new and experienced teachers as professionals and as individuals navigating a complex world. Her approach is entirely unique, offering fresh insights and reframing traditional ideas as she equips educators with tools to explore their own executive function abilities. They will see themselves and their students through an entirely new lens. Book Review 2: Jessica Hackmann, Ed.S, PCC Owner / Founder, Brave Connections Coaching and Advocacy What if understanding your brain was the key to better supporting your students? Paula Moraine's experiences and insight into the world of an educator have led to the creation of an invaluable tool for self-discovery of one's executive function. Sharing both insightful and practical strategies throughout the book, Paula creates an actionable framework for educators to become more self-aware of their executive function skills. With this deeper understanding, educators are more equipped to create a more supportive and engaging environment for students. Using both visual representations and relatable prompts, this book encourages teachers to cultivate their curiosity about how they approach new learning and growth. Unlike other educational resources that might leave the reader feeling inadequate and overwhelmed, Paula's ability to connect and inspire through her shared stories and understanding conveys a powerful message: ""I see you and know that you can do this!"" This book bridges the gap between the 'how' and 'what' of teaching and supports educators in learning more about their 'why.' Book Review 3: Merry McFadden Founder, Connect the Dots, www.ctdots.org This book not only provides a wealth of knowledge but becomes a working document for educators to process teaching in a different way. Thank you, Paula, for sharing your proven insight and experience!
