How Executive Function Unlocks Hidden Potential:
Many students today face barriers to learning due to underdeveloped Executive Function (EF) skills. This deficiency can lead to difficulties in focusing, organizing, and managing emotions, resulting in lower academic performance and decreased engagement.
Building EF strategies into daily classroom practices enhances students' focus, planning, and problem-solving abilities.
By applying these strategies, educators can create a more effective learning environment, significantly improving classroom management and student outcomes. This approach not only aids in academic success but also prepares students with skills essential for lifelong learning and personal development.

I loved the format of the workshop as it initially gave information regarding executive function and then gave us opportunities to actually assist in helping our students with strategies that may be implemented for student success.
The tools that were given to implement in the classroom and forms students can fill out to help teachers understand them better. This is invaluable information for teachers to have in order to help students improve and learn more effectively. Assessing as a part of teaching stood out to me, rather than assessing what has been taught. I gained a better understanding of Executive Function skills and how they affect a person's life. I would love to see the teachers I work with buy into this approach and all outside-of-the-box thinking rather than teach/paper assess format.
