Specialist Spotlight: Understanding executive functioning (Secondary/FE)
- Online
- 13 Jan 2025 (15:30 - 16:30)
Join us for a FREE discussion exploring 'understanding executive functioning’ in secondary/FE settings.
The discussion will be hosted by Whole School SEND’s National Delivery Coordinator, Caroline Sutton-Reid, and everyone will be encouraged to join in, ask questions and share experiences. As such, content will be responsive but may cover some or all of the following themes:
- Know what executive function is and why executive function skills are important.
- Identify when executive function skills are lacking and the difficulties this may cause for learners.
- Strategies and approaches that support the improvement of executive function skills.
The discussion builds on our online SEND CPD units which take less than one hour to complete. While everyone is welcome to take part in the session, delegates who have completed the corresponding unit content in preparation are likely to find the sessions particularly helpful.
Due to the interactive nature of these sessions, recordings will not be made available after the event.
