I love to consult with teachers to help them learn how to build and strengthen executive function skills for their students {learn more about executive function skills right now} Often, it's just a matter of tweaking things they may already have attempted or have in place. Today, I'd like to focus on classroom procedures, in particular managing student work.. This is especially helpful for primary grades however, it also continues to be very beneficial on up through high school! The key is to have consistent, replicable SYSTEMS in place that the child can learn at the beginning of the year that will carry them through the school year. Why systems? Because kids with executive functioning deficits need consistency in order to learn how to manage themselves and their things both in the present and for the future. Having consistent systems in place from the beginning allow a child to not only be successful right away but also to then explore their own systems which will help them self regulate and strengthen their metacognition skills. In addition, having replicable classroom systems lessens YOUR frustration too! Here are three easy to implement systems, using a scaffolding approach, to help you manage student work.
Do you want even more ideas on how to implement systems in your classroom to lessen frustration for YOU and your students? Get more information here.
Until next time, keep growing and blooming! Jen
