Strengthening Executive Function Skills in Early Childhood

This presentation will outline how educators can understand and recognize executive function challenges and how to implement evidence-based play modifications and interventions in inclusive classrooms.  Play coaching provides opportunities to support learning goals - for children with diverse learning differences, socio-economic backgrounds and experiences - that are teacher-initiated and yet can be child-led.   Play coaching is intentionally flexible, enabling professional discretion to develop activities that simultaneously align with their curricular and SEL objectives.  Learning Objectives:  · Increase teachers' capacity and opportunities to introduce play coaching into regularly scheduled course content. · leverage the joy of play to allow children to connect authentically with content · Help teachers set up play coaching environment and provide support · Ensure the students retain agency as they engage with the materials, their peers, and their teacher.
