Presented by: Dawson

Executive skills are task-oriented skills that underlie students’ ability to learn. Although seldom taught explicitly, many educators now see that students who are strong in these skills are more successful than those who aren’t. This webinar 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.
