The frontal lobes of the brain regulate such skills as sustained attention, working memory, self-control, planning, thinking and decision making, which are increasingly important skills in today's workplace. Brain research is finding these executive brain areas are surprisingly malleable and that there are ways to alter these brain structures and improve these skills. Explore the science of "executive function" and how to use teaching strategies, meditation, exercise and brain training to enhance working memory, attention, self-control, thinking, and visual-spatial skills to better prepare students for the future.
