Supporting Students with ADHD and Executive Function Challenges: Strategies for the General Education Teacher

Monday, November 5, 2018
8:30 AM - 3:00 PM

Research suggests that 50% of classroom time is spent dealing with problems associated with Executive Function skill deficits.  The top classroom issues relate to challenges with shifting, self-regulation, and self-monitoring.  Teachers often report feeling they have insufficient training in environmental or procedural supports that will explicitly teach students Executive Function skills.  Children with LD and ADHD also benefit when instruction includes explicit processes for Executive Function skill development.

The day will focus on the 5 Major Executive Function Skills:

• Creating a Classroomwide EF Culture
• Goal Setting/Planning/Organizing/Prioritizing
• Accessing Working Memory
• Shifting/Flexible Thinking
• Checking/Self Monitoring

Key Learning:

The Five basic Executive Function Skills and their impact on academic, behavioral, and social/emotional functioning.

Sharpen diagnostic skills by connecting breakdowns in learning and classroom functioning to specific EF skill deficits.

Devise lesson plans and classroom procedures to explicitly address the development of Executive Function skills for all students.

Course Credit:  Participation hours awarded upon completion.
