Where to Begin?!?- Understanding and Supporting Executive Functioning Skills

Amy Phillips Phillips October 21, 2021

Speakers: Joy Giovanini and Kari Aleshire

Demystifying Executive Functioning (EF) skills as it relates to Highly Capable students (especially those who are 2e) can be a classroom and home game changer. In this session, participants will gain a deeper understanding of EF and walk away with tangible activities and strategies to help students develop their weaker areas by capitalizing on their strengths. Past attendees have declared this session a Eureka moment for their teaching and learning environment!
