Good Study Strategies Aren’t Enough.
Students can know that retrieval practice and spaced repetition work—and still struggle to use them consistently.

Because effective studying depends on more than planning, organization, and time management. 


Working memory, impulse control, cognitive flexibility, and regulation all affect whether a study strategy actually works. 

In this free workshop, discover the surprising executive functions behind studying—and learn to identify what’s really getting in a student’s way.


Ready to uncover what’s really getting in the way of better studying? 

What You'll Learn

Why students can know which study strategies work and still struggle to use them consistently

The three foundational executive functions behind effective studying: working memory, impulse control, and cognitive flexibility

How regulation affects a student’s ability to begin, sustain, and benefit from studying

Why familiar strategies like rereading, highlighting, flashcards, and cramming can create the feeling of learning without lasting results

How to tell whether a student is facing a study-strategy gap, an executive function gap, a regulation issue—or a combination

A more useful way to understand “It’s boring,” avoidance, and resistance—so you can respond to the actual barrier instead of pushing another tool

                         Meet Your Anti-Boring Guide:

Gretchen Wegner is a teacher turned academic coach and founder of the Anti-Boring Learning Lab.


She’s a tireless learner who’s spent years asking the question: what actually helps students take action on the strategies that would support them most—and how do I need to show up to support that learner even better? 


That question became the Anti-Boring Toolkit—a research-backed framework that builds student study skills and executive function strategies by strengthening the coach.

    Educators Love Our Trainings — Here's Why:
     Frequently Asked Questions:

    1. What if I can’t attend live? 

    No problem! A replay will be sent to all registrants, along with the self-assessment handout. We’d love to see you live, but we know schedules don’t always allow it.


     2. Will this be relevant for classroom teachers? 

    Yes—especially if you’re a teacher who wants to be more “coach-like” in how you support student skill development.


     3. Is this appropriate for new or aspiring academic and executive function coaches? 

    Definitely. Whether you’re just getting started or already supporting students 1:1, this workshop will help you learn powerful coaching moves and reflect on where you are in developing them. It’s designed to be revisited over time as a way to track your growth as a coach.

     4. Will the tools support neurodivergent learners? 

    Yes. The coaching moves are flexible and brain-based, making them especially helpful for students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or executive function challenges. They also support neurotypical learners.


    5. Can I register a group or bring my team? 

    Absolutely. Each person just needs to register individually. We especially encourage teams to engage in shared reflection on coaching practice.

    6. I’m already a member of the Anti-Boring Learning Lab. Will this be helpful for me? 
    We hope so. The coaching moves will be familiar, but the new self-assessment rubric will help you see where you’re already strong and where there’s room to grow in supporting students.

    7. Do you offer official CEUs for teachers or the International Coaching Federation?
    This is a free training and not available for CEU's. 


    8. Is this a sales webinar? We aim to deliver real value regardless of whether you choose to join the Anti-Boring Learning Lab. We will also briefly share information about an upcoming cohort, since this workshop is a natural entry point for those considering deeper support.
