I have been involved in projects to support teachers, through\u00a0practitioner enquiry, to learn about executive functions (EF) and teach\u00a0self regulation (SR) to children and young people. I will soon\u00a0undertake a short study visit to the USA to learn more about how their schools are supporting SR\u00a0using\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/toolsofthemind.org\/\">Tools of the Mind<\/a>, an evidence based curricular program and will attend the\u00a07th Annual Conference for Executive Functions (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchild.org\/special-events\/\">registration website<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>I will visit two Tools of the Mind sites:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.longbranch.k12.nj.us\/\">Long Branch public school, New Jersey<\/a>\u00a0on Tuesday 4th October and the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.childrensaidsociety.org\/\">Children&#8217;s Aid Society<\/a>, New York\u00a0on Wednesday 5th October. I will\u00a0observe lessons and speak with staff, children and parents. The conference\u00a0is on Friday 21st October in Burlington, MA.<\/p>\n<p>I applied for, and was granted, funding from the Scottish Division of Educational Psychology (SDEP) to support the trip\u00a0and bring information back to Scotland. I am grateful for that, to\u00a0Perth and Kinross Education\u00a0and Children&#8217;s Services for supporting me with some of the time\u00a0and to Perth and Kinross Educational Psychology Service for\u00a0initially introducing me to the impact of\u00a0self regulation strategies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A bit\u00a0about this site&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This website is an effort to share learning in (almost) real time. Working in an online space is new, feels a bit scary\u00a0and is highlighting my poor confidence with grammar rules.\u00a0I\u00a0will not confess to\u00a0how long it took to think of\u00a0a website name and can&#8217;t confess to\u00a0how many times I saw the message &#8220;this website already exists&#8221;. The current name is not very close to the original efforts but does try to capture something about this trip and the work I have been involved in so far with self regulation and executive functions.\u00a0I will also be on Twitter (@GHorribine), trying to &#8216;up&#8217; my Tweeting skills.
