Executive Function: Planning, Organizing, and Managing TasksPresented by Blanche Podhajski, Ph.D. and Sage Bagnato, M.Ed.
Executive Function is the “CEO of your brain.” This is what helps you with planning, prioritizing, and organizing information and activities. It helps you keep your calendar straight, complete tasks on time, and adapt effectively when met with obstacles. It also helps you monitor yourself to recognize when you might be drifting off track and need to adjust your thinking or planning. Executive functioning skills are crucial to all of us, and for many young learners it is essential to teach such skills explicitly. Strong executive functioning skills lead to success in school, at work, and in life in general.
