Executive Functioning (EF) Academy - Part 5: How Does EF Affect Writing? - For Teachers
In this training, participants will 1) Explore the various functioning skills that are required during the writing process and 2) Learn various executive functioning strategies and accommodations to support students.
Executive functions help us to set goals, plan, and organize our writing. They also help us manage our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors during the writing process. This type of self-management is known as self-regulation, and it's critical for writing. Many students who struggle in writing have a hard time with the various executive functions that they rely on to create a sentence or multi-paragraph essay. This training takes a deep dive into what exact executive functioning skills are required in writing and how we can support our students in each of these areas when they are given writing assignments.
