Summer 2023 Executive Function Coaching at Educational Connections

Elementary Executive Function Skills Program

Elementary school is a critical time for students to develop foundational executive function (EF) skills, which are the keys to success in school and life! But these skills, including how to stay organized, on task, and meet challenges, often aren’t taught at school.

There's no better time for your child to learn these skills than over the summer when they aren't busy with schoolwork and extracurriculars!

Through a research-based curriculum with a hand-selected coach, your child will be introduced to the core concepts of executive function.

In lessons designed for this virtual summer program, your child will begin learning how to:

Follow directions and gain awareness of expected behaviors
Set goals and stay on task
Manage time and learn how to keep organized
Learn how to break assignments into smaller parts
Think flexibly and build a growth mindset
Focus and strengthen working memory
Learn how to cope with strong emotions
Monitor their own progress and develop self-reflection skills

Strengthening these skills over the summer will ensure better outcomes for your child both in and out of the classroom next school year.

Middle and High School Executive Function Coaching

Students aren't born with the executive function skills they need to succeed in school and beyond. Strategies for time management, organization, and studying must be learned, just like times tables and grammar rules.

Summer is the perfect time for your child to work on building these skills because they aren't as busy with schoolwork and extracurriculars.

Through a research-based curriculum with a hand-selected coach, your middle or high school student will learn how to strengthen their executive function skills this summer.

Our one-to-one, fully customized lessons for your child include strategies for:

Goal Setting: Understanding the Big Picture and Breaking it Down
Cognitive Flexibility: Shifting and Flexible Thinking
Organizing and Prioritizing: Materials and Time
Organizing and Prioritizing: Information and Ideas
Remembering: Accessing Working Memory
Self-monitoring and Checking

Executive Function Coaching for Rising College Freshmen

Many new college students struggle with time management, organization, and holding themselves accountable for schoolwork without the built-in support that comes from living with parents.

This is among the leading reasons why college students earn poor grades or, worse, drop out.

Executive Function coaching can help your high school graduate successfully transition to college by teaching them the life skills needed to manage greater responsibilities, freedom, and courseloads.

Our one-to-one Executive Function coaches will help your new college student understand what worked well for them in high school and what didn't.

Through our virtual one-to-one program, we will develop an individualized plan to:

Help your teen sort through their syllabi and create a manageable homework and study schedule
Teach your college student the strategies and techniques they need to break tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks, use visual aids or timers to help with time management, and create better systems to tackle assignments and studying
Work with your student to identify realistic, measurable, and specific goals for building their executive functioning skills to help them find success in college and beyond
Provide ongoing support and encouragement to help your college freshman troubleshoot problems and provide additional resources and strategies as needed
