Webinar “Improving Executive Function Skills Through Task Planning and Time Management”
We often focus on students with special challenges when teaching organizational skills and time management, but according to the Universal Design for Learning principle, all students can benefit from strategies we typically use with these unique students. This edWebinar focuses on how learning to plan helps students build a metacognitive view of their workload, and students with strong metacognitive skills are positioned to learn more and perform better (e.g., Wang et al., 1990).
During the edWebinar, we will explore specific planning skills and how they can help students be more aware of their workload and how they can use this knowledge to improve their time-management skills. All of these tie into executive function skills such as organization, planning, shifting, and initiating, to name a few. At the end of the session, attendees should have a clear set of strategies they can use in class to help students improve their metacognitive skills and foster improved executive function skills.
This edWebinar will be of interest to middle and high school teachers, librarians, school and district leaders, and education technology leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
