Teaching Strategies

Methods for Building Self-Management and Executive Function Skills in Online Cohort Model Programs

Tuesday, February 25, 2025
3:25 PM – 4:15 PM East Coast USA Time
Location: A702
Session Type: Explore and Engage
Abstract Description : Executive Function skills are crucial to fostering independence, confidence, and success in today’s adolescent population. To effectively teach and instill these skills, they must be explicitly taught and consistently reinforced - all while gaining emotional buy-in from students; which has historically been a challenge in online learning settings. Discover a groundbreaking cohort based learning model that has continued to push students beyond their contemporary online peers with credit and skill acquisition, within one academic year. Through a carefully cultivated architecture of online skills, reflections, and planning coursework, students increased their perception of motivation, executive function skills, and confidence.
