This course aims to enhance essential skills such as time management, organization, self-control, and problem-solving. Each week, learners will focus on a different aspect of executive functioning, beginning with understanding these skills and their importance.

As part of the course, learners will explore active study techniques, emotional regulation strategies, memory retention improvement, and cognitive flexibility enhancement. They will also engage in interactive activities like task prioritization, goal-setting, and mindfulness exercises to boost their self-awareness and focus.

The course encourages personalized strategies tailored to each learner's needs, ensuring they can apply these skills in their academic and personal lives. Parents and learners will receive updates and resources to support their child's progress at home. Overall, the goal is to equip students with tools to succeed academically and develop lifelong skills for personal growth.

As an experienced practitioner in this area, I've crafted a dynamic curriculum that strikes the perfect balance between learning and fun!

How will the lesson be taught -

📌 Real-Life Examples: Using relatable scenarios or stories to illustrate the practical application of each skill.

📌Games: Students learn best when having fun!

📌Interactive Activities: Engaging in hands-on exercises tailored to each executive function skill. 

📌Reflection and Feedback: Providing opportunities for self-assessment and feedback to track progress effectively. I'll also work closely with you to support your child's development.

📌Application Beyond the Classroom: Helping your child recognise how these skills extend beyond our lessons into their daily lives.

I encourage parents to oversee their child's engagement in the flex course because with executive functioning difficulties, your child may need extra support to stay on track.
