This student is working actively. How can we tell?
This student is demonstrating that she is engaged in what she is doing by using her finger to point to the part of the text that she is focusing on. She looks around the page and moves her pointing finger around as she does so, working to find what she is looking for. She nods her head as she goes along and moves her mouth while she reads. She appears to be reflexive and thinks about what she is learning. She looks away and then smiles. She has evaluated her progress and is proud of herself when she's done.

Wouldn't it be incredible if every student could become independent, confident and active in their own learning & life?
Executive Function and active thinking skills are key contributors to getting things done, self-management, and problem-solving -- they are also necessary for school success, learning and navigating life!
Workshops for executive function & active thinking are coming soon!
