What if there was a performance-based measure of EF that teachers could easily use in schools? A little dipstick to gather information about how our contexts are supporting/suppressing the PFC. How fast might pedagogy change with this real feedback? #Dreams #ActivatedLearning

So proud of Sola and my daughter Malaina for their book launch today!

The world is full of people with limitless potential facing enormous obstacles. @MahfouzSol94817 embarked on a secret journey of self-study as a girl in Afghanistan. Sal Khan says her new book with Malaina Kapoor is "a reminder of the transformative power of education."

10 years ago my dad said, “I know what an alcoholic looks like & you are an alcoholic & need help.” Tonight I accept the RSA media award for The Addiction Inoculation, my book about preventing substance use in kids. Recovery is possible, & it’s a frickin’ miracle.

Always such a pleasure to work with you Laurie Faith, PhD Collaborating with you is a highlight of my week. Especially when we start delving into kid drawn pics …

Consider, for a moment, just how much there is to learn as a tiny human. Over a period of months, infants and toddlers begin to master language, how to use their bodies to move and accomplish their goals, and so much more… including their culture’s unique social conventions.

At Adele's conference. 1: EFs are SO fragile; you may NEVER have seen your traumatized students utilizing this highly evolved structure. 2: There is a non-stimulant drug (guanfacine) that can revive EFs for these Ppl. 3: Meditation. Is. Essential. #ActivatedLearning
