    Provide feedback that is more explicit, timely, informative, and accessible.






    Executive capacity is sharply reduced when: 1) executive functioning capacity must be devoted to managing “lower level” skills and responses which are not automatic or fluent thus the capacity for “higher level” functions is taken; and 2) executive capacity itself is reduced due to some sort of higher level disability or to lack of fluency with executive strategies. 

    To help learners become more plan-full and strategic a variety of options are needed, such as cognitive “speed bumps” that prompt them to “stop and think;” graduated scaffolds that help them actually implement strategies; or engagement in decision-making with competent mentors.

    It allows to overcome impulsive reactions, set long term goals, monitor progress and modify strategies as needed.
    Educators should know that executive functions are very limited in their capacity due to the working memory.
    UdL focuses on automating both lower level and higher level skills through scaffolding.
    Strategies to scaffold higher level skills:
    1) Guide goal-setting.
    2) Support planning and strategy to achieve that goal.
    3) Facilitate managing information and resources (easy to forget). Ex.:  graphic organizers, checklists.
    4) Promote self-monitoring progress.
