Understanding Executive Functioning
“Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a SUPERHERO?
Superheroes are smart, they do the right thing, and they are ready for anything.
This is because they have three important skills.
They can pay attention to clues and remember them later. (working memory)
They have excellent self-control, which lets them take their time and make a plan before they act.
They have mental flexibility (just like Superflex).
Executive functioning skills are part of the brain that help people do important things.
In NEXUS classes, students will be learning what type of learner they are, who is someone that is their "sidekick" (one person that they can go to for support), going over organizing with checklists, cleaning out desks and lockers, how to improve test taking skills, successful study and homework habits.
THANK YOU MRS. DONATO - you are teaching our students the skills they need to be successful and learn THEY CAN DO IT!
Think flexibly? You can adjust to changes, look at things differently and explore new ways of doing things.
