Glenbard Parent Series: Sarah Ward
Many experts agree the skills that make up executive function are better predictors of success than test scores, IQ, or socioeconomic status.
Students with executive function deficits have problems with adaptable thinking, studying efficiently, and maintaining focus. The ability to work independently is a skill students need every day. In this GPS program, Sarah Ward will provide a better understanding of executive functioning and the tools for effective coping – focusing on simple techniques that help students strengthen their learning skills.
Sara provides concrete strategies that can easily be implemented and will help students learn to better self-initiate, complete tasks, problem-solve, and manage time. Parents will learn the study-skill tricks for supporting students in creating a positive and productive environment for both homework and life!
