“I realized that confidence was a form of education. It was not an extracurricular activity. It was not a conference building workshop. It wasn't a program to do in the summer. It was truly an act. It was a part of education. And I realized that every student that understood how to become confident and was educated on how to become confident, had better outcomes in school.”

Why do students struggle? I'd argue that they lack access to quality instruction, but think about it. That's totally out of their control. What if there was something we could teach kids there was something within their control that would help them be successful in every class? It's not a magic pill or a figment of your imagination. 

 

When students internalize Executive Functioning Skills they succeed.
