Unpacking Executive Functioning: a digital primer for tweens, teens & parents

We all hear a lot about executive functioning skills and how important they are for success in school, but what are they exactly? This slide show covers the basics and offers helpful strategies and tips that can be applied right away. Areas covered include time management, planning, prioritizing, emotional regulation and impulse control, organization of materials and sustained focus. There is a little bit of brain science and a little bit of motivation. Most importantly, what teens (and parents) need to know is that executive functioning skills must be learned and practiced. They have nothing to do with intelligence. The format of this presentation is designed for a sudent and/or a caregiver to watch and review, while applying suggestions to their own lives in an immediate and practical way. Think of it as a self-paced webinar just for you!
