The Executive Functions Toolkit For Classroom Teachers
Paperback Edition: 1
The Executive Functions Toolkit for Classroom Teachers is an informative, easy-to-use handbook for teachers who are interested in helping their students to become self-regulating, managing themselves and their own lives successfully by controlling their thoughts and actions. Students of all academic abilities who have executive function difficulties are often incorrectly perceived by some teachers as being stupid, lazy, or unmotivated leading to frustration and disappointment. In fact, these students may just have a slower rate of developing executive functioning skills than their peers. Executive functioning skills need to be learned through explicit teaching and modelling, combined with extensive practice. Students with specific needs such as ASD, ADHD and dyslexia benefit from, and enjoy, the hands-on strategies and activities that this toolkit provides.
