Description

Class Experience

In this 55 minute class, learners will be introduced to the exciting world of BRAINS! Yes, specifically their brain and something called Executive Skills Functions (ESF). Specifically the lesson with explore the prefrontal cortex and I will explain to the students what it is, and how the ESF works. I will also describe how this has a direct relationship with how they learn. The class will be interactive. I will invite the children to ask questions as I do a presentation and I will have a quiz...

This class is taught in English.

I will teach about the main sections of the brain. I will focus on the prefrontal cortex. I will introduce and describe the five main areas of executive skills- organizing / prioritizing / flexible thinking / working memory / self-regulation. For each ESF I will provide a relevant example that the students can relate to in a classroom context.

I will invite the students to make a list of key points they learned and to post this on their bulletin board to remind themselves about ESF and how their brains work.

informal assessment - short, interactive quiz

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
