S8/Ep. 02 - Building Skills for Boys' Success
Loading player...
Navigating the complexities of growing up can be challenging for boys, especially in a rigorous academic environment. At St. Mark's School of Texas (United States), Gabby Reed and Eliza Rosenbloom are dedicated to helping boys develop critical life skills, particularly around executive function.
Reed, the director of the Marksman Wellness Center, and Rosenbloom, the middle school counselor, emphasize the importance of these essential skills. Drawing from the expertise of Sarah Ward and Peg Dawson to better understand how to teach executive function effectively, their holistic approach ensures that boys can apply what they’ve learned across various aspects of their lives, fostering a sense of responsibility and independence.
The work being done at St. Mark's is a testament to the importance of nurturing boys' emotional and academic well-being. By focusing on executive function and life skills, boys are not only prepared for school but are equipped for what comes outside of the classroom. For a deeper dive into their insights and strategies, listen to the full episode.
New episodes of the IBSC Exploring Boys' Education podcast are available exclusively to IBSC members on the IBSC website for the first two weeks. Afterward anyone may access them from all popular podcast platforms. We encourage you to share this resource across and beyond your school community!
