Students often struggle with independent work not because they lack understanding, but because the executive function skills needed to start, sustain, and complete tasks are still developing. This blended workshop helps educators examine independent work through an executive function lens, focusing on skills such as task initiation, attention, planning, and self-regulation. Participants explore practical strategies to structure independent work time, build clear routines, and support students in managing distractions and maintaining engagement.
