Executive Functioning: Empowering Children for Learning and Growth

Description

The goal for educators is to facilitate learning and growth for their students, and sometimes it feels there are numerous obstacles in the way – including the child’s very ability to learn. If a professional has students who struggle with organization, following directions, or even getting started on a task, this workshop might help. Interactive experiences will take educators through the structure and function of children’s brains, illuminating how adults can support and improve the necessary skills to increase students’ ability to learn. Concrete techniques address common obstacles to learning, doing so from a perspective that fully integrates the needs of the whole child (cognitive, social, and emotional).
