Creating a Culture of Executive Function in Your Classroom

In order to help students become thriving, contributing members of society, teachers need to address their students’ executive functioning needs. Executive functions are transferable skills such as organization, time management, emotional control, and metacognition that have a significant impact on learner success. In this course, participants will investigate the importance of executive function and its impact on student learning and success and how the practice of executive functioning skills can be incorporated into the classroom. Using this knowledge, participants will design and implement strategies to create a climate of executive functioning practice into their classroom.
