Practical Strategies to Help Students with Executive Skill Challenges
This workshop will introduce the Smart but Scattered model of executive skills, which consists of 6 foundational skills and 5 advanced skills that students need to be successful learners. It will give participants an array of strategies they can use with individuals or groups to strengthen executive skills and will cover students K-12, with developmentally appropriate strategies across the age levels. The presentation will also introduce a model for designing student-centered interventions that can be used by teachers or other support staff that work with students with executive skill challenges.
Executive Skills: Five Steps for Embedding Strategies into Daily Routines and Instruction
Executive skills are task-oriented skills that underlie students’ ability to learn. Although seldom taught explicitly, many educators now see that children and adolescents who are strong in these skills are more successful than those who aren’t. This workshop will provide step-by-step instructions for incorporating executive skills into everyday lessons and activities. After introducing executive skills, participants will learn to connect behavior to specific executive skills, introduce these concepts to students or clients, create routines that incorporate executive skills, embed skills into lessons, and engage children and youth in problem-solving. The presentation will incorporate numerous case examples and group activities to support learning.
As a result of attending this workshop participants will be able to:
- Identify a variety of classroom-based strategies to address executive skill challenges that can be used on an individual or class-wide basis.
- Design a personalized intervention to address problem behaviors tailored to an individual student and the unique context in which the problem behavior occurs.
- Learn strategies for engaging students in the problem-solving process so that the intervention is collaborative and student-centered.
