EXECUTIVE FUNCTION SKILL BUILDING
7-Session Executive Function Program for Students in Grades 6-12*
Executive Function Skills are the set of mental skills that allow us to use our intelligence to help us work towards our goals. They are the building blocks for completing tasks, in school and in life.
Located in the prefrontal cortex of the brain, they are the last part of the brain to develop, which is why so many bright, intelligent students can continue to struggle with these skills into adulthood.
In our Executive Function Coaching, students are explicitly taught skills to help them with self-regulation, time management, focus, organization, and motivation. We explore their own unique learning style and address the skills that are impacting them in school and in life.
Session 1–What are Executive Functions? How do they Impact Learning & Life?
Session 2–Self Regulation
Session 3–Time Management
Session 4–Improve Focus
Session 5–Organization
Session 6–Motivation & Goal Setting
Session 7–Memory & Learning Style
*Ongoing weekly support is available after the 7 initial sessions to support students as they implement these new skills into their lives and apply them to academic tasks.
