Executive Functioning (EF) Academy - Part 4: Supports, Strategies and Intervention
Executive functioning refers to a set of processes that have to do with managing oneself and one's resources to achieve a goal. It is an umbrella term for neurologically based skills involving mental control and self-regulation. It is now commonly believed that executive functions are essential for purposeful, goal directed behaviors and actions, and there is substantial evidence that academic achievement and appropriate executive function skills are correlated.
In this intermediate level training, educators will learn how to identify interventions, supports, and strategies to develop students' EF skills in the classroom.
