Executive Functioning
Please note: Bookings for this course will be limited to 2 places per school/organisation
Executive Functions (EF) help us to complete a task, filter distractions, resist inappropriate or non-productive impulses, and sustain attention during a particular activity. We use them to set goals and plan ways to meet them, assess our progress along the way, and adjust the plan, if necessary, whilst managing emotions, such as frustration. These skills are important for all of us to be able to respond to the demands of everyday life and are hugely important for learning.
This course is aimed at teachers, teaching assistants and pastoral support staff who work with all children and young people, and those with social, emotional and mental health needs.
The session’s objectives:
• To develop an understanding of what executive functions are and why they are important.
• To understand what difficulties in executive functioning look like.
• To find out about activities and strategies you can use in school to support children’s executive functions and as a result their readiness to learn.
Virtual meeting details will be circulated to attendees closer to the start date. The course will be held on Microsoft Teams.
Northamptonshire Virtual School has funded the TAMHS programmes to be FREE for education settings from grant funding received from the DFE. The Virtual Schools aim is to enable education settings to build their workforces skills to better support children in care, children with a social worker and other vulnerable children and young people.
Please note: where delegates sign up to a course but do not give 5 working days cancellation notice of the course commencing, and do not attend the training, the person’s organisation (school or other setting) will be charged a flat fee of £80, reflecting the full cost of the training place (This fee will be waived if we judge that given reasons for cancellation within the 5 days, such as illness, are legitimate).
We ask that when you book a place on this course, you make your school/setting managers aware of this. We rely on attendees communicating with their schools’ managers to ensure booked places are filled, such as for situations where booked staff become unavailable.
If you are marked as absent, you will receive a link to a form where you must provide a reason for your non-attendance. If the form is not completed within two weeks of being sent, a charge will be applied.
