Learn About the Executive Functions of the Brain in Your School, Group or Workplace

Did you know that Executive Functioning Skills are a better predictor of student success than IQ? In this presentation, we provide critical information needed to understand the  brain and executive functions. We explain the “why” behind the behavior we often observe in students who struggle. We then share concrete strategies to address the “how” needed to support the development of key executive functions in the classroom.

Executive Functions are a hot topic these days! But where do primary grade students figure into the discussion? In this presentation, we address the development of executive functioning in young children. We then offer concrete strategies to create a learning environment that promotes the progression of key executive functioning skills. 

This 90 minute presentation will develop the staff’s understanding of executive functions and how they affect behavior and success in the workplace. In this presentation, we will evaluate executive functioning strengths and weaknesses, analyze which brain functions are required to be more productive and organized, learn exercises to calm the brain under stress, and choose specific, concrete strategies and tools to support personal time management, both at work and home.
