This edLeader Panel provides school leaders with an overview of executive functioning, an umbrella term that refers to one’s ability to initiate, break down, and follow through on multi-step tasks. From theory to practice, we explain why EF skill building is the most effective way to engender critical skills in students for the digital age. Viewers will learn why EF skills need to be explicitly taught in classrooms and how these skills will help students become autonomous learners. We present the challenges students face in the digital era and how to cultivate a supportive school culture that promotes executive functioning. We also demonstrate the efficacy of Studyo, a digital school planner that helps students develop organizational skills, executive functioning, and responsibility using engaging, interactive features.

This recorded edLeader Panel will be of interest to school and district leaders of middle and high school grade levels.
