Why executive functions are the key to supporting self-regulated learning in the classroom Masterclass

In this very special masterclass, Victoria Bagnall will be discussing the role of executive functions in supporting self-regulated learning at school and at home. As educational professionals, we play a key part in providing support for the development of executive function skills in our students.

We know from research that effective executive function and self-regulating behaviours are essential for school success, are predictive of maths and reading competence, and in driving positive student-teacher relationships (Diamond, 2013; Diamond & Ling 2016).
