Focused Interventions to Improve Executive Function Skills (K-12)

Executive functioning involves the neurological processes used by students to consciously control their thoughts, emotions, and actions so that goals can be set and achieved. This online course begins by explaining what executive functioning is and how critical it is to the learning process. Teachers will take a deep dive into eight core EFs that control not only students’ ability to think metacognitively, but their ability to respond appropriately using their social-emotional skills.

"The content and resources from this course were great. The information on the different executive functions included examples that were true to life and practices to help students improve those EFs." - Andria Barberi
