Bill > SR802

This resolution formally recognizes March 25, 2026, as Executive Function Day at the state capitol, coinciding with National Brain Awareness Month. The resolution highlights the importance of executive function, which is defined as a set of cognitive processes that manage goal-directed behaviors, including skills like self-regulation, working memory, and time management. It emphasizes that these skills are foundational for academic success, particularly in reading comprehension, and are crucial for developing "soft skills" or "essential skills" needed for college, career, and community success in the 21st century. The resolution further states that explicitly teaching executive function skills empowers students and is vital for personalized learning and lifelong learning, ultimately contributing to student, school, and life success. The Secretary of the Senate is directed to distribute copies of this resolution to relevant parties.
