CMS-PTO Talk: Executive Function

Executive Functioning: What, Why, and How
Does your child struggle with: -Organization -Time Management -Learning skills?
Welcome to middle school! Executive Functioning (EF) involves a critical set of capacities governed by the prefrontal cortex, the last part of the brain to develop, and students who have EF difficulties are the norm, not the exception. Join us as we host Ali Zidel Meyers, of Meyers Learning Center, for a dynamic presentation on Executive Functioning Skills. Ali will address the “what’s, why’s, and how’s” of these significant life skills. She’ll also provide practical tools and resources that parents can utilize to support their children’s emerging EF capacities and growth.
Details:
Where: Cupertino Middle School library When: Tuesday, September 17th from 6:30-8:00pm.
