Executive Function & Study Skills
Is school feeling overwhelming? At Summit Academic Coaching, students in upper elementary and middle school develop essential executive function and study skills. Transform the way your student learns and achieves academic success.
What is Executive Function?
Executive function is like the brain's manager. These high level skills help us plan, stay organized, control impulses and emotions, and follow through on tasks.
Students are still developing these skills well into their teens, so struggles with things like cleaning their room, turning in homework, or switching from playtime to chores are often brain-skills still growing, not laziness or defiance.
Executive function is the brain’s set of tools that helps it stay focused, make good choices, and get things done.
