I thought it was great.

This course is great and the information is applicable not only at the preschool level but also at the secondary and higher education level. It is my desire to expand upon this work at the higher education level as we see many student not equipped with good EF skills or SEL competencies. The visual picture of the tree of success breaks down the areas for intentional growth opportunities for all!

It is good to know that we can observe and find out the level of children's learning through playing of the quizzes. The course helps me to evaluate the children on the EF.

Covered a wide range of the topics.

It is informative about the importance of executive function in young children because it is a learned behavior which can improve several other skills as the child grows to adulthood.
