Executive Functioning in the Classroom

Date/Location:

December 15, 2020, Online

Description:

As most schools are moving toward some form of e-learning or blended learning this coming semester, it is more important than ever that educators understand the role that executive functioning plays in students’ success or struggles in school. Deficits in organization, attention, and memory can cause significant difficulties for students when in a consistent environment with supports. This session will look specifically at in-classroom and in-school supports so that students can learn executive functioning skills and work on techniques within the school setting. Participants will be encouraged to consider how these techniques can be modified for a blended or e-learning environment as needed.

Speakers:

Cassie Frost, M.S.Ed

Learning Outcomes:

Participants will be able to identify at least 3 examples of executive functioning struggles in their learning environment.

Participants will be able to identify at least 3 environmental strategies to help support students who struggle with executive functioning.

Participants will be able to identify at least 3 tools that can be used to support students who have executive functioning deficits.
