Executive Functioning is cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibition. These functions are carried out primarily in the frontal cortex of the brain. They are developed from birth through young adulthood.

I have springboarded a practical process that I call “Evolved Education’s Integrated Executive Function Coaching Model.” Simply put, this method integrates not only executive functioning and cognitive psychology academic research but also integrates the student’s learning experiences, assessment, as well as strategies taught. Since it aligns with academic research and leaves room for new research to affect it, I believe this model can evolve with us as our field continues to develop. Maybe more branches will form, but the foundation here is strong and I am excited to see where it takes my students, the students at Evolved Education, and your students!
