INTRODUCTION
Developed by the founder, Dr Kean Poon and her research team from the Department of Special Education and Counselling at The Education University of Hong Kong and the School of Education at the University of New South Wales, the Advance Pharmaceutical Good Shepherd Executive Function Training Resources Package aims to help primary students with special educational needs enhance their executive function skills. It can be applied to various settings, from 1-on-1 tutoring to small groups. This resource package is now available in Chinese. The English version will be ready soon.
THE CONTENTS
The whole training package consists of seven units; each unit covers one of the executive function skills and is divided into two parts:
-
Part 1 introduces “cool” executive function which involves logical thinking;
-
Part 2 focuses on cognitive skills and modes of thinking
Each lesson has its suggested time, tutors can adjust the teaching time of the activity according to the student’s needs and the actual classroom time.
THE FRAMEWORK
To enable students to better understand and effectively apply executive function skills, this resource package is designed based on the learning framework of Dawson & Guare (2012) and the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University (2011). Apart from the revision session, each session is divided into four parts: Knowledge, Experience, Application, and Nourishment. Nourishment can be further divided into four smaller sessions; they are 3-minute learning reviews, small tools, homework, and extended reading.
