Promoting Executive Function in the Classroom

Accessible and matter-of-fact, this book helps teachers incorporate executive function processes—such as plotting, organizing, prioritizing, and self-checking—into the classroom curriculum. Chapters provide effective strategies for optimizing what K–12 students learn by improving how they learn. Noted authority Lynn Meltzer and her research associates bestow a wealth of simple-to-implement assessment tools, teaching techniques and activities, and plotting aids. Featuring numerous whole-class thoughts and suggestions, the book also shows how to differentiate instruction for students with learning or attention difficulties. Case examples illustrate individualized teaching strategies and classroom accommodations. More than a dozen reproducibles are included; the large-size format facilitates photocopying and day-to-day reference.
