Description
Brain Development and School offers practical classroom strategies to support pupils' executive function. This book examines how to help children develop self-control, memory, metacognition, organisation, motivation, self-regulation and focus, with a focus on ways to improve emotional and intellectual development. It provides useful tips grounded in theory, including discussion of what executive functioning is, ways that weaknesses show themselves in school, support strategies for teachers, advice for pupils, manageable solutions and modifications for the mainstream classroom, and a self-assessment questionnaire. By understanding the root causes of behaviour, schools can provide personalised, differentiated support for individual pupils. This book will be beneficial to all teachers, school leaders and SENCOs looking to support their pupils by identifying and addressing the underlying factors affecting their behaviour.
