Flexing the Frontal Lobe: Executive Functioning Skills for Managing Your Life

The GAP Program's initiative for reinforcing useful executive functioning skills is embedded in all GAP classes. Students learn executive functions, identify executive function deficits, and learn how to use existing tools to take hold of their priorities. This course also encourages students to practice mental flexibility, self-regulation, and impulse control, thus laying a sturdy foundation for topics taught in other courses. Students set up their Google Classroom and calendar accounts, and learn how to sync tools among their devices.
