| 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
Critical Thinking is the ongoing search for valid and reliable knowledge
to guide beliefs, decision, and actions. Critical Thinking follows a
developmental path, emerging in children over time, but its use must be
promoted. |
