Executive Functioning – What is it? Why Should You Know About This?
Every student has the right to approach learning with the tools he or she needs for success. Now more than ever students with executive function issues are struggling with stressors that impede their growth in executive function areas including working memory, prioritizing, organizing, sequencing, managing time, attending, focusing, initiating, social/emotional inhibiting, communicating, and cognitive flexibility/shifting. Research shows that explicit, strategic instruction throughout a child’s P-12 schooling can improve a person’s executive function skills.
This video presents an overview of executive function and its importance for students’ academic and behavioral performance. A rationale for teaching students metacognitive strategies leading to self-regulation will be explained. We will look at how to address your students’ executive function strengths and needs so that they have tools to support their personal executive function growth through setting goals and planning. In this video we will be introducing you to NEW methods for strategy instruction.

What is Working Memory? The Foundation of ALL Learning
Are your students having difficulty remembering math facts, spelling words, completing assignments, remembering, and combining new information with background knowledge to learn and problem solve? These are possible signs of a deficit in working memory.
Working memory is the foundation of all learning. We find difficulties in working memory as early as preschool and as late as adulthood. The child that just cannot remember the rules or routines in preschool is often exhibiting the same working memory difficulties in elementary, middle, high school and adulthood. Research has shown that working memory can be improved through explicit strategic instruction.
In this video you will learn how the executive function, working memory, impacts students’ ability to achieve both academically and behaviorally. You will also learn strategies that can be used to improve skills in this area. In addition, we will provide ideas for helping students with working memory deficits as they navigate blended learning.

Managing Time and Planning
5 Closely Linked Executive Functions
Are your students having difficulty setting goals, planning, determining priorities of actions, organizing materials and thoughts, managing their time, and following steps in order? These are possible signs of executive function issues in this area.
These executive functions complement each other, and the same student may exhibit difficulties in all five. We find these difficulties as early as preschool and as late as adulthood.
The student who cannot find their materials in preschool and receives no intervention will be the adult who often cannot find their work materials. Research has shown that these executive functions can be improved, and intervention can start in preschool.
In this video, you will learn how these executive functions impact students’ ability to achieve both academically and behaviorally. You will also learn strategies that help students improve their skills in prioritizing….. In addition, we will provide ideas for helping students with these issues as they navigate blended learning.

Attending, Initiating and Focusing
Are your students having difficulty attending to the appropriate stimuli, starting assignments and sustaining attention and focus long enough to complete an assignment? If so, these are possible signs of executive function issues in this area.
The student with a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) usually experiences impulsivity, inattention to the appropriate stimuli, and distractibility. These students may qualify for services under IDEA or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation ACT.
There are many students, however, who exhibit the same issues but do not have a diagnosis of having ADHD. These students often need the same or similar educational interventions to improve their skills in this area.
In this video, you will learn how these executive functions impact students’ ability to achieve. In addition, we will provide ideas for helping students with these issues as they navigate blended learning.
