Students with strong executive function skills hold the keys to school and social success--from attention and impulse control to time management and organization. Now K-12 teachers have a practical, highly readable guide to enhancing these critical skills for all students, with and without learning disabilities.

Through the author's memorable metaphors, classroom examples, and crystal-clear explanations of brain functioning, teachers will immediately grasp what executive function is and how it affects their students' learning and behavior. Then they'll get the explicit, research-based guidance they need to

  • improve executive function skills in specific academic subjects: reading, math, and writing
  • choose effective assessment methods to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses in students' executive function
  • adapt their instruction and classroom structure to enhance students' executive skills and improve trouble spots
  • implement an executive function coaching process that helps students plan, organize, and complete their assignments
  • develop individual behavior support plans that address underlying executive function challenges
