Understanding & Supporting Executive Functioning

This engaging and informative session focuses on executive functioning (EF)- the mental skills that enable us to plan, focus attention, regulate emotions, and complete multistep directions.  This session offers a clear overview of EF skills, age-based developmental milestones, and practical strategies to support success! Participants will be equipped with actionable tools to create EF-friendly classrooms and spaces that foster independence, resilience, and academic success for all learners. Maryland Teacher CEUs and certificates of attendance will be provided.
