Description:

This webinar provides school psychologists with a practical framework for understanding how executive function weaknesses can impact math performance across grade levels. Dr. George McCloskey uses case examples to illustrate why some students know more than they are able to demonstrate during classroom activities and assessments due to challenges with executive control. Participants will learn how executive function weaknesses can contribute to inconsistent performance, calculation errors, and difficulties with multi-step problems. The session highlights assessment approaches that help distinguish executive function breakdowns from weaknesses in mathematical knowledge and skills. Dr. McCloskey also presents evidence-based intervention strategies that school psychologists and educators can use to strengthen executive functioning skills, improve mathematics performance, and support student success in school.
