Overview

Help struggling students improve academic performance by boosting their executive function skills. Executive function (EF) skills provide the building blocks to help students plan, organize, and manage their learning, and the key to long-term success lies in the connection between EF skills and social-emotional learning (SEL). Although SEL can provide students with invaluable emotional intelligence, empathy, and social responsibility, EF skills enable students to manage and apply these emotions and social understandings effectively. In Improving Executive Function Skills, veteran educator and bestselling author Marilee Sprenger provides neuroscience-backed techniques that can help teachers - Recognize the warning signs of executive dysfunction. - Build a solid foundation with SEL strategies. - Hone students' EF skills. - Create an environment for student success. This quick reference guide is full of ready-to-implement strategies that help students get unstuck and improve their EF skills--including planning, organization, problem solving, and goal setting--so that they can succeed in the classroom and beyond. 8.5"" x 11"" 3-panel foldout guide (6 pages), laminated for extra durability and 3-hole-punched for binder storage
