School Readiness: Executive Function
Needed to “Do School” with Sarah Ward
As school begins, we focus on giving students the right
tools—planners, folders, schedules, and routines—to set
them up for success. What if these tools aren’t the starting
point? What if they depend on executive function skills that
many students are still developing? We will shift from tools
to the underlying skills students need to successfully “do
school.” Gain a deeper understanding of executive function
skills—such as working memory, time awareness, task
initiation, and organization—and why challenges in these areas can make even the
best systems fall apart. Explore how everyday school demands—getting out the
door with materials, recording and completing homework, managing time across
the day, and following through independently—require more than reminders and
checklists. Learn strategies to help start the school year strong.
