Omschrijving
Educators clamor to provide top-notch lessons and resources for students, but if students lack executive function, even the best materials won't produce the desired results.
"Dr. Sulla’s latest publication is a critically important resource for all educators who are committed to enhancing the well-being and academic success of all learners, and eliminating long-standing and pervasive achievement gaps. This new resource provides instructional leaders and PreK-12 teachers an improved understanding of the complexity of brain functioning and student learning, and most importantly, effective classroom practices that we know will unlock untapped student potential. This book provides a myriad of proven instructional strategies gleaned from brain research that are easily integrated into daily lesson planning. It offers optimism and hope that we as committed educators, if focused on development of these critical executive skills, can make a significant positive difference in the academic and life trajectory of each and every one of our students regardless of race, class or disability."—Robert L. Jarvis, PhD, Director of K-12 Outreach and Equity Leadership Initiatives, Penn Center for Educational Leadership, University of Pennsylvania
"Building Executive Function is a must read for every educator who is serious about making a positive difference in student learning. Dr. Sulla effectively breaks down executive function skills into understandable components that educators need to develop in their students. Through a series of practical examples, teachers now have specific strategies in which to engage students. It is a perfect complement to Students Taking Charge: Inside the Learner-Active, Technology-Infused Classroom."—Roy Montesano, EdD, Superintendent, Bronxville Union Free School District, NY
"Where has this book been my entire career? I cherished every second reading Building Executive Function and came away with immediate plans to make meaningful changes in my classroom! Nancy has broken down the processes by which students plan, think, and behave into specific, identifiable skills. If teachers coach their students on these skills throughout the year, I believe that student achievement will improve, their knowledge and abilities will transfer to new situations, and our students will be more likely to become successful, independent thinkers. Every educator, from novice to veteran, would benefit immensely from reading and implementing the ideas within Building Executive Function. I know I'll be referring back to it over and over again!"—Paul Solarz, 5th grade teacher and author of Learn Like a PIRATE
"In Building Executive Function, Nancy Sulla uses real-life examples, scientific explanation, and relevant activities. Additionally, the material can be easily adapted to fit a wide variety of educational levels, contents, and needs. This book will help me scaffold executive function in my students--and have concrete examples to offer my colleagues when they discuss the functional needs of their students!"—Catherine Stanley-Davis, 6th Grade ELA/SS Teacher, Gravelly Hill Middle School, NC
