Executive Functions Part 1 (Foundations)
with Audra Eckes
Ages: 11 - 18
We will start our executive functions journey by learning about the power of positive thinking, including positive affirmations and the concept of “yet”. We will learn how setting SMART(ER) goals can help our focus and outcome. We will learn how to create and maintain good habits and routines. We will organize backpacks and put together a binder, including a student planner, for class (I can help with other classes as well). We will tie it all together by pairing all these with executive functions (a set of cognitive processes that are essential for controlling behavior and managing tasks, including for effective learning, decision-making, and self-regulation). Participation in class is required as is homework. Part 2 is offered as a separate semester-long class during which we will focus on the specific executive functions and how they apply to each of the students.

Executive Functions in Action: Skills for Real Life
with Audra Eckes
Ages: 13 - 18
This is for students who have taken an executive function class before, preferably at THE. No semester will be the same as each class will be catered to the students in the class. What will be the same is we will be using executive functions and applying them to the students’ lives. Whether it’s managing time, staying organized, setting goals, handling stress, or making decisions, this class focuses on strategies that support independence, productivity, and personal growth. Through discussion, interactive activities, self-reflection, and real-world planning projects, students will build routines, habits, and systems that help them succeed in school, work, relationships, and beyond.
