In-Person Workshops
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 workshop will introduce the 11 executive skills featured in the “Smart but Scattered” model, with suggestions for school-based strategies for strengthening each skill across the grade levels. It will also describe a process for embedding executive skills into classroom lessons and daily routines.

What are Learning Differences?
Unique and Individual Ways People Process New Information
In the United States, one in five students has a learning difference, meaning they experience challenges with organization, memory, or attention, especially in academics, such as reading, writing, and math. While everyone in the population may struggle with these skills at some point or another, students with learning differences experience these difficulties throughout their educational development, and they can last an entire lifetime.
