EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING
ACADEMIC COACHING // LEARN HOW TO LEARN
If your child is struggling with executive function skills, you may wonder if executive function coaching is right for them. The good news is that executive function skills can be developed smoothly with 1:1 instruction and support. These skills are especially crucial in high school, where the stakes are much higher. Students who squeaked by in middle school can face roadblocks and lack the confidence to navigate the rigors of college prep courses. Parents often spot the early warning signs of executive function challenges when their students start to struggle with higher demands for self-management.
Executive function coaching for high school students can be highly effective in helping students become more efficient and effective. Executive functions are vital for academic success, but students can lose sight of their development in their teenage years. Developing these skills can help students avoid putting off urgent tasks due to anxiety, confusion, or poor planning. High school students may also need help with decision-making that affects their emotions.
We Work With High School, College & University Students
Executive function skills begin to develop in childhood and continue to develop throughout adolescence and early adulthood. These skills enable students to plan their workload, prioritize tasks, and monitor their progress. High school students with executive function deficits often struggle with balancing academic and social activities. This can lead to anxiety and disruptive behavior.
The efficacy of executive function coaching for students may be enhanced by incorporating self-management skills into classroom activities. Teachers can assist students in identifying problematic thinking and ineffective strategies, and then encourage them to brainstorm alternate strategies. This is a cognitive exercise that helps students develop cognitive flexibility.
The content of executive function coaching sessions depends on the individual needs of each student. In the initial sessions, a coach will identify an area of focus and set goals for future sessions. Typically, a session will last one hour. The coach may continue to meet with a student but tends to reduce the frequency of the sessions towards the end.
