Executive Functioning (EF) Coaches:
Our Executive Functioning (EF) Coaches are NJDOE Certified Special Education Teachers who model services after the RTI (Response to Intervention) approach to learning. Our approach concentrates support on a universal level for an entire classroom, through intensive level services targeting individual students, or via one hour staff presentations. Services include initial classroom observation, regular consultation with the teacher via email, phone and/or online to support teachers in implementing strategies into the classroom setting with increased success and use of the Google Platform (Docs, Forms, etc.) to share materials and ideas for support in real-time.
What is Executive Functioning?
Executive Functioning (EF) is a set of neurologically brain-based skills that students require to successfully complete tasks large and small. Often, skills such as sustained attention, organization, planning, time management, self-regulation, and task initiation are underdeveloped requiring a novel approach to learning with guided teacher support.
