Practical Intervention in the Schools Series

Coachen van kinderen en adolescenten met zwakke executieve functies: Praktische strategieen voor thuis en op school

Rate this book
Tegenvallende schoolprestaties worden bij veel kinderen veroorzaakt door zwakke executieve functies. Ze zijn slim genoeg, maar hebben moeite om dingen te onthouden, op tijd aan taken te beginnen of hun werk geconcentreerd af te maken. Een coach kan deze leerlingen helpen door de juiste vragen te stellen en gerichte opdrachten te geven. Met een gestructureerd programma leidt een kwartiertje hulp per dag al tot een versterking van executieve functies en aanzienlijk betere schoolprestaties.

In 'Coachen van kinderen en adolescenten met zwakke executieve functies' presenteren Dawson en Guare een bewezen effectief coachingsmodel. Aan de hand van een helder stappenplan leren kinderen en adolescenten niet alleen beter plannen en organiseren, maar ook hoe zij hun timemanagement, emotieregulatie en impulsbeheersing kunnen verbeteren. Elke stap in het coachingsproces is voorzien van duidelijke instructies en werkbladen. Naast individuele coaching door een volwassene komen ook klassebrede coaching en coaching door een medeleerling aan bod.

"Dit is een uniek en geweldig boek. Het biedt een zeer bruikbaar coachingsmodel voor leerlingen met zwakke executieve functies, zoals kinderen met ADHD. Het is zonder meer de meest praktische en informatieve gids over dit onderwerp." - Russel Barkley

'Coachen van kinderen en adolescenten met zwakke executieve functies' is een heldere handleiding voor leerkrachten, coaches, (school)psychologen en andere hulpverleners die leerlingen willen helpen het beste uit zichzelf te halen.

Na de bestsellers 'Slim maar...' en 'Executieve functies bij kinderen en adolescenten' is dit het derde boek van Dawson en Guare over executieve functies. Peg Dawson is psycholoog aan het Center for Learning and Attention Disorders in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Richard Guare is neuropsycholoog en directeur van dit Center. Beiden hebben meer dan 30 jaar ervaring met het werken met kinderen met aandachtstekort-, leerstoornissen en gedragsproblemen.

Great read on executive skills, coaching, and how to integrate these concepts into a classroom. The main focus was elementary and secondary classrooms, but the authors did make some connections with the college classroom.

I used the Executives Skills Questionnaire from the appendix with my students at the beginning of the semester and then led a discussion about how knowing their strengths and weaknesses can help them plan for success in the course. For my introductory psychology course, we also talked about how executive skills highlight the different interests of psychology (e.g., biopsychology, cognitive psychology, school/educational psychology, personality).

Many thanks to the UCA Center for Teaching and Leadership for this book and the encouragement to explore executive skills training/coaching as a tool for supporting content mastery and life integration in our college classrooms.
