Executive Functioning
for student success
​
Executive functioning coaching for students is a specialized form of support aimed at developing and enhancing the cognitive skills necessary for effective learning, organization, and self-regulation. This coaching approach focuses on improving key executive functions, including but not limited to time management, organization, planning, goal-setting, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. I work closely with students to identify individual challenges and strengths, providing tailored strategies and tools to help students navigate academic tasks, prioritize responsibilities, and overcome obstacles.

Empowering students
The goal is to empower students to become more independent, self-aware, and efficient learners by honing the essential skills that contribute to academic success and overall well-being. Executive functioning coaching fosters a personalized and collaborative learning environment, equipping students with the skills they need to thrive in both academic and real-world settings.

ABOUT ME
Thank you for visiting Mind Sprout! Let me introduce myself. My name is Jill Howe. I established Mind Sprout with the vision of empowering students to unlock their full academic potential. I have experience as a Chicago Public School High School English Teacher; private school middle and high school teacher for special needs students; and as an executive functioning coach, with a specialty in neuro-divergence, for middle, high school, college, and even adults. Yes, we need help sometimes too!
I fill the rest of my time with my second love, storytelling. Forever an English teacher, I love creative nonfiction and memoir writing. As a producer, host, and performer at storytelling events, I strive to move my audiences with truth and vulnerability. I also create tailored storytelling workshops for schools, museums, and professional organizations. Recently, I coached five employees for a large national organization's all-employee meeting where they shared tales on the theme "Together We Thrive". Their colleagues went wild over their vulnerable and well-told stories. One person told me it was the best meeting she's ever been to! Nothing makes me happier than to encourage, collaborate, and showcase each student's story to its fullest potential.
My joy is guiding you or your child to full potential. Let me take this eclectic resume and make an informed plan for your support needs today!
