Participants will be introduced to the core components of Executive Functioning (EF), including working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibitory control. They will examine how EF develops across childhood and adolescence, how EF challenges manifest in different grade levels, and how they intersect with learning disabilities, ADHD, and other complex needs. Foundational strategies for observing and supporting EF in the classroom will be shared.

Participants will:

• Recognize the relationship between EF challenges and academic, behavioral, and emotional outcomes.
• Define EF’s core components. 
• Describe how EF develops across childhood and adolescence. 
• Identify common signs of EF difficulties at different grade levels.
