Comprehensive Assessment of Executive Function and Instructional Implications
 
In this session, participants will focus on a comprehensive way to assess the concept of Executive Function (EF). We will begin with a short review of the concept and conclude with a view of EF supported by research data from two large nationally representative samples used to norm the Comprehensive Executive Function Inventory (CEFI). The session will then cover how EF is expressed by measures of intelligence (especially the Cognitive Assessment System, Second Edition), rating scales of behaviors, social-emotional competency (e.g. DESSA), and academic achievement (e.g., FAR and FAM) for typical and clinical groups. Emphasis will be placed on interventions that have been shown to increase use of EF and the resulting impact on academic scores.

This is free to all Region 10 schools.
