Organized Thinking: Dealing with the Dreaded Homework Assignment

Categories:

This workshop focuses on executive functioning skills and related practical strategies to track and tackle homework and other deadline-based duties.

The vast majority of students with social cognitive deficits have immense difficulty developing organizational skills to manage the increasing complex expectations of life in upper elementary, middle, high school and into their adult years.

The impact of poor organizational skills is immense, affecting one’s outcome in school as well as at home and work. Weak organizational skills are poorly understood and often written off as pure laziness on the part of a “smart” student.

This workshop is not a general description of the issues. Instead, Michelle Garcia Winner will guide the audience to explore the key concepts and then provide explicit strategies to help teach these complex ideas!
