Executive Functioning
Problem to be solved: Who wore which color?
• Rachel, Linda, and Eve were friends sitting in a circle on the grass. Rachel passed 3 chocolate chip cookies to the person in blue. Who wore which color?
• Eve passed 3 macaroons to the person who passed her cookies to the person wearing green.
• Each person passed 3 cookies to the friend on her left.
• Rachel, Linda, and Eve were dressed in red, blue, and green, but not necessarily in that order.
• The person who wore green did not get a macaroon.
• The person wearing red passed along 3 oatmeal cookies.
The Cookie Problem (from Richard Guare,
Ph.D.)
Questions to consider:
• What do I need to know?
• What do I know now?
• How can I organize the information, so it makes sense?
• What is my plan?
• Checking for accuracy

Where/How do executive functions develop?
Myelination is the process by
which a fatty layer, called myelin,
accumulates around nerve cells
(neurons). This myelination occurs
in adolescence and supports
improvement of executive
functions, impulse control,
self-regulation…

Possibilit
ies
• Effectively use time
• Use working memory
• Attend to the task at hand
• Filter out extraneous information
• Initiate Tasks
• Have motivation to persevere
• Organize
• Plan
• Make Decisions
Executive Functions give us the ability to:
Socially:
• Self-monitor
• Theory of Mind
• Self-control
• Task Shift
• Modify emotional response
• Predict consequences
Executive Functions give us the ability to:
Executive functions allows for:
• Forethought
• Planning
• Goal-directed Actions
• Self-Disciplane/Self-Regulation
• Persistence/Grit
T-P-S: How does this impact literacy instruction?
Smart, but Scattered: Explained
• Self-monitor
• Self-control
• Task Shift
• Modify emotional response
• Predict consequences
• Attend to the task at hand
• Filter out extraneous information
• Initiate Tasks
• Have motivation to persevere
• Organize
• Plan
• Make Decisions
• Effectively use time
• Use working memory
Which of these are most connected to language development?
• Pruning of the Neuropathways
• Increased connectivity between brain regions

Effective Teaching Practices
High Impact Strategies
Universal Design for Learning
• Limit Stress!!!
• Find appropriate sources of motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) to communicate
• Teach the process of organization through play, modeling and communication opportunities
• Repetition and structure are necessary for solidify neuropathway
Strategies for Language and Executive Function:
• Teach and practice dialogue
• Use “managed choice” for decision-making
• For memory: music, rhymes, words within words, peg words
• V.A.K.T. (Visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile)
• Sensory seekers and avoiders
• Physiological needs
Strategies for Language and Executive Function:
• Picture• List• Assemble (hint)• Notice
Have a PLAN

Quotation Mingle:Universal Design for Learning
• Increased Engagement Time
• Read and Wrap
• Discuss Salient Points with your team
• Find a person with a different number and share
