On-Demand Webinar: Executive Functioning: Enhancing Student Success
Description of On-Demand Webinar
Executive function (EF) skills provide essential support for learning, development, and overall daily performance. This presentation explores the critical components of EF—such as planning, prioritization, time management, organization, cognitive flexibility, sustained attention, and self-regulation—and their impact on a student’s academic and behavioral success in the educational setting. Participants will learn how students develop EF skills over time and how each skill affects learning. Strengthening EF can enhance a student’s decision-making abilities, emotional management, academic productivity, and more. Participants will leave with practical assessment tools to target intervention and actionable strategies to improve EF skills in students served in K–12 educational settings.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this on-demand webinar, the learner will be able to:
- Identify six critical executive functions and their areas of impact;
- Describe the barriers and implications for impaired executive functioning; and
- Select strategies for building executive function skills.
