Description | | Description
Research shows that executive function skills affect
school readiness, school success, college graduation rates, work and life
success; and these skills can be taught and encouraged at any age. These monthly sessions (2 hour information
session with a 1 hour "coaching" follow up session) focus on fun,
everyday activities, including using children's books, that educators and
providers can use to promote and support the development of an essential
executive function skill.
Objective
Making Connections is at the heart of learning and
making unusual connections is at the core of creativity. All children and adults can benefit from
improving their capacity to make usual and unusual connections. Making Connections involves paying attention,
cognitive flexibility and inhibitory control.
