The role of executive functions in learning at secondary school

Join Victoria Bagnall, co-founder of Connections in Mind, in this talk on executive functioning in secondary school children. Victoria will cover what executive functioning is, why these processes are essential for success and happiness during school and adult life, and how it can help with organising thoughts on paper, essay writing and homework.

She will delve into how you can identify executive function challenges in children, how these challenges can affect a child’s identity, behaviour and confidence and what parents and teachers can do to make sure their children/students develop strong executive functions.

Victoria Bagnall is an education professional passionate about improving opportunities for people with executive function challenges. She is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Connections in Mind which supports children, adolescents, adults and parents with executive function challenges through the medium of coaching. She has recently launched an online learning platform www.cimlearning.com as part of her EVOLVING MINDS, EVOLVING TIMES initiative. 

As a dyslexic Victoria was challenged with her executive functions and so her mission to help with this is a personal one. She trained as a teacher and then in SEN teaching and is also a mum of 3.

This is a free event although we would be very grateful for any donations which will be shared equally between Connections in Mind and Bell House. A suggested donation of £5 or whatever you feel you are able to give.
