Executive function skills are sometimes likened to the brain’s “air traffic control system,” enabling children to make intentional decisions instead of being governed by impulse. These learned skills support success in school and throughout life. Over two sessions we will examine what executive function is and how it develops, its impact on learning, and classroom activities for developing EF, including classroom routines, pretend play strategies, scaffolding methods, early literacy, and “Tools of the Mind.” THIS IS A 2-PART WEBINAR: 8/3/2021 & 8/17/21
