Executive Function Skills in the Classroom

Description

With insight and humour, this motivating guide shows how to bring executive functions (EF) to the forefront in K–8 classrooms — without adopting a new curriculum or scripted programme. Ideal for professional development, the book includes flexible, practical, research-based ideas for implementation in a variety of classroom contexts. It shares stories from dozens of expert teachers who are integrating explicit EF support across the school day. Provided is a clear approach for talking about EF barriers and strategies as part of instruction, and working as a class to problem-solve, explore, and apply the strategies that feel right for each student. Several reproducible tools can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8½” x 11” size.
