This uniquely integrative book brings together research on executive function processes from leaders in education, neuroscience, and psychology. It focuses on how to apply current knowledge to assessment and instruction with diverse learners, including typically developing children and those with learning difficulties and developmental disabilities. The role of executive function processes in learning is examined and methods for identifying executive function difficulties are reviewed. Chapters describe scientifically grounded models for promoting these key cognitive capacities at the level of the individual child, the classroom, and the entire school. Implications for teaching particular content areas - reading, writing, and math - are also discussed. This book will be useful to school psychologists; neuropsychologists; teacher educators; classroom teachers and special educators in grades K-12. It will also serve as a text in graduate-level courses addressing learning and the brain.
