SUMMARY:Improving Executive Function Skills Through Task Planning and Time Management (Rebroadcast)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Renaud Boisjoly\, Chief Product Officer\, Studyo \nSponsored by Studyo \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nWe often focus on students with special challenges when teaching organization skills and time management\, but according to the Universal Design for Learning principle\, all students can benefit from strategies we typically use with these unique students. This edWebinar focuses on how learning to plan helps students build a metacognitive view of their workload\, and students with strong metacognitive skills are positioned to learn more and perform better (e.g.\, Wang et al.\, 1990). \nDuring the edWebinar\, we explore specific planning skills and how they can help students be more aware of their workload and how they can use this knowledge to improve their time-management skills. All this ties into executive function skills such as organization\, planning\, shifting\, and initiating\, to name a few. At the end of the session\, viewers should have a clear set of strategies they can use in class to help students improve their metacognitive skills and foster improved executive function skills. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to middle and high school teachers\, librarians\, school and district leaders\, and education technology leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nRenaud Boisjoly is the chief product officer of Studyo. After working with students and teachers in classrooms\, schools\, and districts for close to 25 years\, focusing on driving technology adoption through pedagogical objectives\, the new digital era raised the question of student agency and responsibility. Basing himself on action research on brain development and executive function skills\, he built the first version of the Studyo planner which empowered students with tools to plan and break down their work. \n\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nJoin the The Brain and Learning community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, and receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars. \n\n \nStudyo helps students\, teachers and parents work together to improve executive function skills.
