About
Executive function is often used as an umbrella term for a wide range of classroom behaviors, but without a clear understanding of what it actually means, it can be hard to support students in developing these skills. The three executive functions—working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibition control—are not innate skills, we aren't born with them. But the good news is that the more we understand them, the more we can improve them. When educators have a clear framework for understanding executive function, they can better support students in building the cognitive skills essential for learning, self-regulation, and long-term success.
