Closing Learning Gaps Through Executive Functioning Skills

Funded Sep 29, 2022

Thank you so much for your contribution towards my project to help my students build their executive functioning skills. I have been able to purchase executive functioning workbooks to give more direct instruction as well as practice around these ten key skills! The other materials have helped give me the tools for students to practice and strengthen these skills week by week.

The balance beam and swivel core circle has been favorites for students! We use both of these tools to strengthen our self-control and attention skills. Students are required to control impulses and their body movements while also focusing their attention at the same time in order to balance/stay up. Practicing these skills also helps to strengthen them & therefore make it easier for them to control their impulses in the classroom and focus their attention easier and for longer when needed. The combination of the workbook and tools makes this learning process for executive functioning skills so much more fun for my students!”

With gratitude,
