Main description:

*Ideal companion to the bestselling Executive Skills in Children and Adolescents, Third Edition (9781462535316).
*Shows how to build an EF-oriented pedagogy; instead of implementing strategies for 5- to 13-year-olds (grades K-8), teachers guide students to build their own EF toolkits.
*Research based and accessible--provides realistic, flexible guidance illustrated with engaging vignettes from diverse classrooms.
*Great potential for professional development, professional learning communities, or schoolwide book groups.
*Authors (including Peg Dawson, a leading EF expert) are active workshop presenters in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.
