Are your students or kids stuck with a blank page due to a large assignment? Do they know how to do the assignment but can’t figure out the best way to jump into it? This is not because of laziness—this is an example of a breakdown in Task Initiation, which is one of the key executive functions of the brain. Support your students to move from being passive and procrastinating to becoming active creators of their success with our comprehensive neuroscience-based curriculum. This 42-page instructional manual and workbook supports creating a step-by-step strategy to overcome your student's brain's resistance to getting started with completing tasks.

The Student Workbook (Part 2) (The “How”) 10 in-depth printed worksheets provide a complete scaffolded framework for developing executive function.

What Makes It Busy and Maternal/School Parent-Friendly : Based on Neuroscience (not-created based off "Shame"): It regards procrastination as a normal neurological event, not an individual's defect nor character flaw. This removes guilt associated with procrastination by providing students with a "hacker" mindset to achieve the best outcome for their situation based on the wiring of their brains. Has Actionable, Step-By-Step Tools: Instead of vague and subjective statements like “just break it down,” this curriculum focuses on rigorous, rigorous sequencing (providing valuable resource worksheets/checklists) and concrete ways that a student can apply the information immediately. Targets Neurodivergent Learners: The section on differentiation for ADHD, ASD and Dyslexia students is a must-have addition to any inclusive classroom and will meet needs of all parents with children needing specific support; therefore, it is an extremely "valuable" and "highly-valuable" resource.

The multiple case studies included (6th, 8th grade), the reorganization of the prefrontal cortex and task characteristics align directly with this group.

Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities Grades KG-12 (13-Book Bundle)
Reading, ELA, Reading Comprehension, Kindergarten, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables
Guided Reading is a research-based instruction process whereby the teacher works with small grouping of students being equal in a particular reading achievement level. The teacher provides for each reader's development of effective reading competencies. However different than in the earlier days of reading groups, small and temporary groups are flexible and dynamic. The observance and evaluation of the progress of readers are done by teachers on a systematic basis. Thus, grouping and regrouping students is based on the strengths of students and the intense changing needs throughout their reading development. In the 1960s in New Zealand, Guided Reading was developed. It was enhanced over the years after it arrived in the United States thanks to educators like Gay Su Pinnell and Lesley Fountas. In 1996, Fountas & Pinnell published their enormously influential book, Guided Reading: Good First Teaching for All Children (Heinemann). This book changed how reading was taught, and it is still taught today to over a million teachers worldwide. The aim of Guided Reading lessons is to develop effective readers. A set of 13 books is bundled together with all 13 worksheets of the Guided Reading series for grades KG-12. There are lesson plans and different activities for every grade, with the answers in the end section of the worksheet.

Additionally, you will become familiar with ethical practices about how to avoid bias, copyright infringement, and promote responsible innovation. You will have the opportunity to build a portfolio of your digital artwork on sites like Artstation and Behance, and learn different ways to monetize your work like selling artwork on Etsy, offering prompt engineering services, and licensing your creations on stock platforms. This guide provides valuable information for aspiring digital creators (artists, writers, designers, and technology lovers) who are looking for beginner level AI tutorials, ethical AI education, and also provides practical steps for starting a successful creative career in the growing field of AI. The information in this guide is ideal for homeschooled students, classroom curriculum, or independent self-study, and will enable you to equip your teen with valuable generative AI, digital design, and content marketing skills that will provide them a successful future. Benefits for Parents and Schools: The curriculum gives students many future-proof skills relevant to working with AI. It focuses on teaching students how to equip themselves with practical AI tools, as well as prompt engineering techniques, so they can succeed in new creative industries such as digital art and content creation.

Students will learn how to avoid bias, protect their privacy, and make moral decisions when using ethical AI in a technology-driven world. Hands-on learning: Students will gain an understanding of the theories of AI through real-world examples and opportunities to be creative using AI in conjunction with their own ideas. The program takes a career launch approach, showing students how to build a portfolio, network, and monetize their skills so they will be well-prepared to enter professional careers in technology, design, and media. The curriculum is suitable for high school-aged children, with a logical progression of chapters, making it easy to integrate into the classroom, home, or independent study.
