4th-6th Executive Functioning/Keyboarding

Executive function is described as “the management system of the brain.” The skills involved allow us the ability to initiate, plan and organize, set goals, and solve problems. We are here to help your children develop these important skills as well as strengthen test taking skills. We will also be incorporating a keyboarding program. We will teach basic typing skills where students will be taught the location of keys, introduced to an online typing program that tracks their progress as well as engage in other hands-on learning activities. This class is a Level Up Academy exclusive!

*Chrome books will be provided

Day 1: Learning Styles- Students will understand their individual learning styles and identify any challenges they may face when trying to stay organized and focused. Learning styles can be helpful when building metacognition. These learning styles can also help people understand what skills come naturally and which skills they need to improve. 

Day 2: Goal Setting and Cognitive Flexibility - By the end of this unit students will be able to understand the importance of setting and maintaining goals, shifting perspectives, purposeful highlighting and allowing for flexible thinking.

Day 3: Organizing and Prioritizing- Students will learn strategies for organizing belongings, the importance of planning, use calendars and tools for daily, weekly and monthly planning.  They will then apply what they have learned to break down assignments into meaningful parts. 

Day 4: Accessing Working Memory and Advocating for your needs- Students will learn memory strategies and play “brain games” to help access a variety of Executive Functioning skills.  They will also learn how to communicate with their teachers and ask for support with any school-related challenges that may arise.
