Executive Functioning: Connecting to Success in School and Life!
Executive Functions are cognitive processes that allow students to plan, organize, make decisions, pay attention, and regulate behavior. All of us use Executive Function skills to solve problems and evaluate the decisions we make. Research suggests that Executive Function skills are essential for students to succeed in school and adults to succeed in later life. This workshop will assist teachers and administrators involved with children in the latest research and best practices in how to effectively integrate new understanding of the relationship between Executive Functioning skills and academic success into their teaching practices. This workshop will explore strategies on how students can learn to manage their time, plan and prioritize tasks, organize their thoughts and materials, focus their attention and regulate their behavior. Participants will be able to implement these strategies immediately returning to their classrooms to help all students succeed in school and life.
