While you work through each Phase of the Cohort, you’ll have 24/7 access to assessment tools to identify root causes of executive function challenges, intervention strategies to target learning needs that truly matter, and a supportive community of like-minded professionals and parents to inspire and support you, every step of the way. 

Enrollment to the Seeds of Learning® Community is an incredibly affordable opportunity for anyone! 

What is included in the Cohort?

Each Phase of the Cohort offers you the perfect combination of learning + practice to make lasting change. You won’t just learn the how—you’ll also get the tools and support to implement! You can complete one Phase or all of them!

• Phase 1: Root Skills 

  • Introduces Tera's Executive Function Framework, focusing on perception, attention, working memory, and inhibition, and provides actionable assessment and intervention tools you can use immediately.

• Phase 2: Leaf Skills

  • Build upon the foundation of Root Skills by revisiting key skills and focusing on higher-level executive function, including cognitive flexibility, self-monitoring, self-correction, self-modulation, initiation, time management, and pacing, with practical applications to enhance real-world interventions.

• Phase 3: Flower Skills

  • Focus is on the highest-level executive function skills, including planning, organization, anticipation, analysis, prioritization, balancing multiple demands, and decision-making, enabling your students to manage complex tasks, navigate competing priorities, and make informed, strategic choices.

As part of the Summer 2025 Cohort, you can access:

• 15 modules of video and reading material

• Workbook journals for each Phase

• Office Hours: Weekly live recordings. Like a podcast, but better!

• The Literacy Network: A bonus community with extensive intervention resources and strategies that addresses literacy development from a cognitive perspective and examines the role of executive function.
