Executive function is important for learning and for life! Even the best lessons, directions, or how-to videos will fall short if a learner does not have the executive function skills necessary to be fully engaged.
Dr. Sulla groups executive function skills according to the life skills they support (download chart):
Conscious control
Engagement
Collaboration
Empowerment
Efficacy
Leadership
Executive function skills can be fostered through activities, structures, and teacher facilitation!
IDE Corp. consultants work with schools to design Learner-Active, Technology-Infused Classrooms that put students in charge of their own learning. All of the structures that support students taking greater responsibility for their own learning build executive function.
