Bill > HR424

This resolution recognizes March 26, 2025, as Executive Function Day at the state capitol, drawing attention to the critical role of executive function in education and personal development. Executive function, defined as an umbrella term for complex cognitive processes that support goal-directed behaviors, includes skills like self-regulation, emotional responsibility, task completion, working memory, cognitive flexibility, time management, and reflection. The resolution emphasizes that these skills are fundamental to personalized learning, academic success, and 21st-century college, career, and community readiness. By highlighting research from cognitive science, the resolution underscores the importance of explicitly teaching executive function skills, which can lead to increased self-awareness, self-empowerment, and self-esteem. Additionally, the resolution calls for the House of Representatives to recognize this day during National Brain Awareness Month and directs the House Clerk to distribute copies of the resolution to the State Board of Education, the public, and the press, thereby promoting understanding and awareness of executive function's educational significance.
