Hello,
More and more learners are struggling to manage the demands of school. Whether they have a diagnosis or not, difficulties with attention, emotional regulation, organisation and getting started can be mistaken for poor behaviour or a lack of effort.
Understanding what sits behind those struggles can change how you respond, and the difference you make. *
Our Level 1 Executive Function Coach Training for Schools* helps teachers, SENCO's and school leaders develop that understanding, alongside the coaching skills to put it into practice.
Bookings are now open for our January 2027 educator cohort, the first of just three intakes each year.*
Develop your expertise. Create lasting change in your school. *
Training a member of your team builds knowledge that stays within your school. It equips them to look beyond the immediate difficulty, work collaboratively with learners and develop support around their individual executive function needs.
**

Through the course, you will develop the skills to: *
Recognise executive function challenges affecting learning, organisation and independence.
Understand why a learner may struggle even when they know what to do.
Use coaching conversations to explore difficulties and build on strengths.
Collaborate with learners on practical strategies, rather than relying on repeated reminders.
Apply your learning within your school, with a dedicated school application session.
Learn from a decade of specialist experience *
Designed by Victoria Bagnall, teacher, Connections in Mind co-founder and author of * The Neuroinclusive Educator*/ , published by Bloomsbury*, this training brings together research-informed knowledge, coaching practice and an understanding of everyday school life.
