A professional learning community for educators, organizations, and families supporting sustainable behavior, learning, and engagement.

Jansen Azarias-Suzumoto, Dr. Adele Diamond, Kenji Azarias, Rema Hamdan

What This Is

This online learning community supports those who want to move beyond theory and into real-world executive function implementation.

Members often arrive here after:

  • attending a keynote or professional learning session

  • downloading Higher Ground’s Free Executive Functions guide

  • seeking practical support for behavior, attention, and self-regulation challenges

This space exists to support continued learning and application across learning environments.

Who This Community Is For

This community is designed for education-facing professionals and families who are actively supporting young people’s development, including:

  • School and district leaders seeking sustainable approaches to behavior and attendance

  • Teachers, counselors, and support staff working in high-stress or trauma-impacted settings

  • Community-school and nonprofit practitioners embedded in schools

  • Homeschooling parents and caregivers looking for science-aligned, practical ways to support executive function development at home

This is a professional, implementation-focused learning space, grounded in science and real-world practice.

What You’ll Find Inside

Members gain access to resources aligned with the same executive function principles shared through Higher Ground’s speaking, training, and consulting work.

Inside the community, you’ll find:

  • Practical learning modules focused on executive function development

  • Tools and frameworks that translate EF science into daily practice

  • Guidance shaped by years of implementation in high-poverty and high-stress contexts

  • Support for building regulation, attention, and adaptability across settings

  • A shared space for educators and caregivers committed to sustainable systems

Content emphasizes application, not volume.

How This Fits With Our Other Work

This community complements Higher Ground’s broader work:

  • Speaking & Keynotes introduce the core framework

  • This learning community supports continued learning and implementation

  • Consulting & implementation partnerships provide deeper, long-term organizational support

Each pathway is designed to meet people where they are.
