Description
Executive Function in Education, Second Edition From Theory to Practice by Lynn Meltzer provides a comprehensive understanding of executive function processes in children and those with learning difficulties. This revised edition explores how students develop key capacities such as goal setting, organization, and self-monitoring from PreK to 12. Leading experts in education, neuroscience, and psychology discuss the links between executive function and academic performance, presenting practical applications for assessment and instruction. The book also reviews exemplary practices for supporting students with executive function difficulties in specific content areas like reading, writing, and math. Updated throughout with a decade's worth of significant advances in research and educational best practices, this edition includes expanded coverage of reading, a chapter on early childhood, and strategies for embedding executive function into the curriculum.
