Book description
A guide for helping students with weak Executive Function skills to
learn efficiently and effectively
Students with weak Executive Function skills need strong support and
specific strategies to help them learn in an efficient manner,
demonstrate what they know, and manage the daily demands of school.
This book shows teachers how to do exactly that, while also managing
the ebb and flow of their broader classroom needs. From the author of
the bestselling parenting book Late, Lost, and Unprepared,
comes a compilation of the most practical tools and strategies,
designed to be equally useful for children with EF problems as well as
all other students in the general education classroom.
Rooted in solid research and classroom-tested experience, the book is
organized to help teachers negotiate the very fluid challenges they
face every day; educators will find strategies that improve their
classroom "flow" and reduce the stress of struggling to
teach students with EF weaknesses.
- Includes proven strategies for teachers who must address the
needs of students with Executive Function deficits
- Contains information from noted experts Joyce Cooper-Kahn, a
child psychologist and Margaret Foster, an educator and learning
specialist
- Offers ways to extend learning and support
strategies beyond the classroom
- The book's reproducible forms and handouts are available for
