Promoting executive functioning skills
According to Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child, executive function (EF) skills are the mental processes that enable us to plan, focus attention, and juggle multiple tasks successfully.
Evan Weinberger, CEO of Illuminos Academic Coaching & Tutoring, will offer helpful tips to teachers about how to encourage the development of strong EF skills in their students, including those with learning differences, such as ADHD. Participants will gain a greater understanding of EF skills and creative new ideas they can implement.
From flunktioning to functioning in 2021: Life skills students need TODAY for success TOMORROW…and the next day!
Evan Weinberger, CEO of Illuminos Academic Coaching and Tutoring, will offer tips about how to help your student achieve higher performance in school through mastering the essential life skills for success academically and beyond. He will cover topics such as organization, time-management, calendaring, self-presentation skills, and more. All audience members will leave with tools they can implement immediately with their children for a strong start in the new semester.
Developing Effective Executive Functioning Skills
In school, students are exposed to all sorts of subject matter: history, science, mathematics… and the foundational tools, such as reading and writing. What is often missing in the process is the development of core EF skills: skills that facilitate organization, prioritization, goal-setting, and time-management. These skills provide students with the capacity to maximize their learning experience and thrive in the face of learning differences in and beyond the classroom. Join in and discover how to enable your child to master those critical executive function skills.
