Executive function (EF) is an umbrella term for a collection of cognitive and behavioral functions such as problem solving, reasoning, planning and organization, inhibiting action or speech within context and managing attention control. It is now commonly believed that executive functions are essential for purposeful, goal directed behaviors and actions, and there is substantial evidence that academic achievement and appropriate executive function skills are correlated. This training will help teachers understand what executive functions are and how to best support students with executive functioning deficits.
