What are executive functioning skills?
Executive functioning skills are the skills you need to be a successful person. These skills involve: planning, prioritizing, time management, working memory, self-control, metacognition, attention, task initiation, and perseverance.

Students who struggle in school often have weak executive functioning skills. In order to be successful in school and in life, students who struggle need to be taught these skills explicitly. I have created an entire course and curriculum at my school based on this premise, and have students to this day come back and tell me that the “real world skills” they learned in my class, help them as adults. (Over 90% graduation rate for students who take my class)

NOTES FOR USE:
- I would ONLY teach one skill per week, not all the skills in one week!
(This is why it says the duration is three weeks)
- Each of these lessons took my students longer than 45 minutes, due to their ability level. (I used almost two full class periods)

- I have used this lesson for 9, 10, and 11th grade as well as my post grad students
