Why Teach Executive Functioning Skills?

At birth, we are each given a clean slate to start building our executive functioning skills. These skills include: planning, task initiation, meta-cognition, flexibility, memory, organization, and so much more! But, without proper instruction and practice, our E.F. skills muscles don't get flexed and challenged. With poor E.F. skills, students will struggle in school and life.

Workbook:

There are fifteen different pages with three activities each. I suggest you give each student a page a day for an entire week. Have the students perform each page for multiple weeks. Remember: building confidence and taking your time teaching and reinforcing E.F. skills will pay off for your students!
