Direct Instruction
What is Executive Functioning?
=Your brain’s control center for getting things done.
Executive Functioning
Visual:🗺️ A roadmap with “Start → Steps → Finish” What it means:
Knowing the steps needed to reach a goal and deciding when to do them. Example:
A student wants to raise their grade. They plan:
- Check missing work
- Schedule retakes
- Ask teacher for help
- Study 15 minutes a day
This is planning in action.
Planning
Visual: 📁 Neatly labeled folders or a tidy backpack What it means: Keeping materials, spaces, and information in a structured place. Example: A student organizes their Google Drive with folders for each class (Math, English, Science). They can find assignments quickly — less stress, more success.
Organization
Visual: ⏰ Clock + sticky notes + a weekly planner What it means: Knowing how long tasks will take and using time wisely. Example: A student realizes they have:
- Practice at 5:00
- Homework due at midnight
They choose to start math homework right after school so they aren’t rushing late at night.
Time Management
Visual: ▶️ A “play” button being pressed What it means: Starting a task without putting it off, even when it’s boring or challenging. Example: A student has a long-writing assignment and usually procrastinates. This time, they start with a timer set for 2 minutes. Once they begin, the rest gets easier.
Task Initiation
Visual: 🧠 A brain holding 3 sticky notes What it means: Holding information in your mind while doing something with it. Example: A student reads a word problem and remembers the numbers long enough to set up the equation — that’s working memory at work.
Working Memory
Visual: 🔍 A mirror next to a checklist What it means: Checking your own work, behavior, or progress and adjusting as needed. Example: During an assignment, a student asks themselves:
- “Did I answer the question?”
- “Am I staying on track?”
- “Did I follow the directions?”
This helps them catch mistakes before turning work in.
Self-Monitoring
Visual:🌡️ A feelings thermometer What it means: Managing emotions so they don’t take over thinking or actions. Example: A student gets frustrated with a tough math problem but takes a short break instead of giving up or shutting down.
Emotional Control
Visual: 🔄 A brain bending or switching paths What it means: Being able to adapt when things change or problems go differently than expected. Example: A student plans to work on homework at home, but the Wi-Fi goes out. Instead of getting upset, they work on reading instead — that’s flexible thinking.
Flexible Thinking
Visual: ✋ A stop sign next to a brain What it means: Pausing before acting or speaking; thinking first. Example: A student wants to blurt out in class but stops, raises their hand, and waits. They’re using impulse control to make a better choice.
Impulse Control
Visual: 🏁 A finish line with arrows moving forward What it means: Staying focused on a goal even when it is hard or takes time. Example: A student wants to pass their driving test. They study the handbook, practice driving weekly, and don’t give up even after they make mistakes. This is long-term persistence — a huge EF skill.

Planning Ahead
I can explain what planning ahead is and break a big task into smaller steps.
Warm‑Up
What happens when you wait until the last minute to do something big?
What Is Planning Ahead?
Planning ahead means looking at a future goal and deciding what to do before it’s due. Explain in simple terms:
- It’s thinking past today
- It helps avoid stress
- It turns big problems into smaller ones
Visual 🗺️ Goal → Steps → Deadline
Real‑Life Teen Example
Example Goal:“A project is due in 3 weeks.” “Should we do it all the night before?” Planning Steps:
- Step 1: Choose topic
- Step 2: Gather info
- Step 3: Outline
- Step 4: Rough draft
- Step 5: Final draft
Student Practice
Option B: Quick Write / Digital ResponsePrompt: “One thing I need to plan ahead for is ________. The first 3 steps are ________, ________, ________.”
Option A: Think‑Pair‑ShareAsk students to think of one thing coming up:
- Test

- Job shift
List 3 small steps needed to prepare.
Wrap Up
“What is planning ahead in your own words?”“Why is it helpful?” Exit Ticket (verbal or written): “Planning ahead helps me because ________.”
Strengths & Challenges
I can identify my executive functioning strengths and challenges and choose strategies that help me.
Hook/ Warm-Up
“Everyone is good at some things and still learning others. Executive skills are not personality traits — they are skills we can build.”
“What is something you’re good at?” “What is something you’re still working on?”
Executive Functioning Rating
- Organization
- Planning ahead
- Starting work
- Staying focused
- Managing emotions
Scale Rating:⭐ = Very strong ✅ = Okay ⚠️ = Needs work

Email & Communication
Today we’re learning an important life skill: email and digital communication. Email is something you’ll use in school, jobs, and adulthood. Knowing how to check it, reply politely, and stay organized is an executive functioning skill.
What Is a School‑Appropriate Email?
Email is not texting. When you email a teacher, you are communicating professionally
“Hello Ms. Smith, I have a question about the assignment due Friday. Thank you, Jordan”
Use a greeting Be clear and polite End with your name
Interactive: Email Simulation
Assignment Reminder
Missing Work Notice
Schedule Change
Email Etiquette
“Let’s talk about what NOT to do.”
On Screen: ❌ “hey” ❌ no subject ❌ all lowercase ❌ rude or emotional language ❌ no name
✅ Greeting ✅ Complete sentence ✅ Respectful tone ✅ Signature
If you wouldn’t say it out loud to a teacher, don’t email it.
Self‑Monitoring: Weekly Email Clean‑Up
Part of executive functioning is maintaining systems
Show checklist on screen: Weekly Email Clean‑Up Checklist ✔ Read all unread emails ✔ Reply to messages that need responses ✔ Delete junk or ads ✔ File important emails ✔ Mark tasks in planner
This takes 5 minutes once a week and saves a lot of stress.
Independence Skill: Labels & Folders
Let’s make email easier to manage.
How to create folders/labels:
- School
- Teachers
- Assignments
- Important
When your inbox is organized, your brain feels more organized too
Virtual Workspace Setup
Hook
“Your workspace can help your brain focus — or make it harder. Today you’ll use AI to design a workspace that actually works for YOU.”
What Makes a Good Virtual Workspace
A strong workspace includes:
- Clear surface
- Tools you actually use
- Few distractions
- Comfort
- Organization
Create Your Ideal Workspace
Students use AI to create an image of their ideal virtual workspace.Prompt Students Copy & Paste “Create an image of a student virtual workspace that helps with focus and organization. Include at least 5 important items from this list or your own ideas: desk, laptop, planner, headphones, lamp, water bottle, notebook, charging station, timer, calendar, comfy chair, quiet sign.” ✅ Must include at least 5 items ✅ Items should support focus or organization
Task Initiation
Starting is the hardest part. Once you begin, your brain follows
Hook
Raise your hand if starting work is sometimes harder than doing the work.
That’s called task initiation — and it’s a skill, not a personality.Task Initiation = Getting started
Interactive Activity
You are not finishing anything.You are just starting for 2 minutes.
Student Directions:Choose one small task (school or personal) Set a 2‑minute timer Work until the timer ends Stop when time is up “Was starting easier than you expected?” “Did the task feel smaller?”
Self‑Monitoring
My biggest start blocker is:⬜ Too big ⬜ Don’t know where to start ⬜ Not motivated ⬜ Distracted ⬜ Fear of mistakes Follow‑up: “When this happens, I usually ________.”
Choose a Start Strategy
A micro‑task is the first 30 seconds of a task.” Give examples: - Open the document
- Write one sentence
- Title the paper
- Read the first question
- Get materials out
Choose one preferred start strategy: ⏱️ 2‑minute timer ✅ Micro‑task (first 30 seconds) 📋 Checklist (do just step 1) 🎧 Music or headphones 🗣️ Ask for help to get started
Wrap Up
You don’t need motivation to start.You start first — motivation comes later.
One strategy I will use to start tasks is ________.

Direct Instruction
What is Executive Functioning?
=Your brain’s control center for getting things done.
Executive Functioning
Visual:🗺️ A roadmap with “Start → Steps → Finish” What it means: Knowing the steps needed to reach a goal and deciding when to do them. Example: A student wants to raise their grade. They plan:
- Check missing work
- Schedule retakes
- Ask teacher for help
- Study 15 minutes a day
This is planning in action.Planning
Visual: 📁 Neatly labeled folders or a tidy backpack What it means: Keeping materials, spaces, and information in a structured place. Example: A student organizes their Google Drive with folders for each class (Math, English, Science). They can find assignments quickly — less stress, more success.
Organization
Visual: ⏰ Clock + sticky notes + a weekly planner What it means: Knowing how long tasks will take and using time wisely. Example: A student realizes they have:
- Practice at 5:00
- Homework due at midnight
They choose to start math homework right after school so they aren’t rushing late at night.Time Management
Visual: ▶️ A “play” button being pressed What it means: Starting a task without putting it off, even when it’s boring or challenging. Example: A student has a long-writing assignment and usually procrastinates. This time, they start with a timer set for 2 minutes. Once they begin, the rest gets easier.
Task Initiation
Visual: 🧠 A brain holding 3 sticky notes What it means: Holding information in your mind while doing something with it. Example: A student reads a word problem and remembers the numbers long enough to set up the equation — that’s working memory at work.
Working Memory
Visual: 🔍 A mirror next to a checklist What it means: Checking your own work, behavior, or progress and adjusting as needed. Example: During an assignment, a student asks themselves:
- “Did I answer the question?”
- “Am I staying on track?”
- “Did I follow the directions?”
This helps them catch mistakes before turning work in.Self-Monitoring
Visual:🌡️ A feelings thermometer What it means: Managing emotions so they don’t take over thinking or actions. Example: A student gets frustrated with a tough math problem but takes a short break instead of giving up or shutting down.
Emotional Control
Visual: 🔄 A brain bending or switching paths What it means: Being able to adapt when things change or problems go differently than expected. Example: A student plans to work on homework at home, but the Wi-Fi goes out. Instead of getting upset, they work on reading instead — that’s flexible thinking.
Flexible Thinking
Visual: ✋ A stop sign next to a brain What it means: Pausing before acting or speaking; thinking first. Example: A student wants to blurt out in class but stops, raises their hand, and waits. They’re using impulse control to make a better choice.
Impulse Control
Visual: 🏁 A finish line with arrows moving forward What it means: Staying focused on a goal even when it is hard or takes time. Example: A student wants to pass their driving test. They study the handbook, practice driving weekly, and don’t give up even after they make mistakes. This is long-term persistence — a huge EF skill.

Planning Ahead
I can explain what planning ahead is and break a big task into smaller steps.
Warm‑Up
What happens when you wait until the last minute to do something big?
What Is Planning Ahead?
Planning ahead means looking at a future goal and deciding what to do before it’s due. Explain in simple terms:
- It’s thinking past today
- It helps avoid stress
- It turns big problems into smaller ones
Visual 🗺️ Goal → Steps → DeadlineReal‑Life Teen Example
Example Goal:“A project is due in 3 weeks.” “Should we do it all the night before?” Planning Steps:

Strengths & Challenges
I can identify my executive functioning strengths and challenges and choose strategies that help me.
Hook/ Warm-Up
“Everyone is good at some things and still learning others. Executive skills are not personality traits — they are skills we can build.”
“What is something you’re good at?” “What is something you’re still working on?”
Executive Functioning Rating
Scale Rating:⭐ = Very strong ✅ = Okay ⚠️ = Needs work

“You don’t need to fix everything at once.Growth happens when you focus on one or two strategies at a time.”
Student Task Students select 2 strategies they will try this month. Examples
- Use a planner daily
- Start work with a 2‑minute timer
- Ask for help before frustration builds
- Use reminders or sticky notes

Email & Communication
Today we’re learning an important life skill: email and digital communication. Email is something you’ll use in school, jobs, and adulthood. Knowing how to check it, reply politely, and stay organized is an executive functioning skill.
What Is a School‑Appropriate Email?
Email is not texting. When you email a teacher, you are communicating professionally
“Hello Ms. Smith, I have a question about the assignment due Friday. Thank you, Jordan”
Use a greeting Be clear and polite End with your name
Interactive: Email Simulation
Assignment Reminder
Missing Work Notice
Schedule Change
Email Etiquette
“Let’s talk about what NOT to do.”
On Screen: ❌ “hey” ❌ no subject ❌ all lowercase ❌ rude or emotional language ❌ no name
✅ Greeting ✅ Complete sentence ✅ Respectful tone ✅ Signature
If you wouldn’t say it out loud to a teacher, don’t email it.
Self‑Monitoring: Weekly Email Clean‑Up
Part of executive functioning is maintaining systems
Show checklist on screen: Weekly Email Clean‑Up Checklist ✔ Read all unread emails ✔ Reply to messages that need responses ✔ Delete junk or ads ✔ File important emails ✔ Mark tasks in planner
This takes 5 minutes once a week and saves a lot of stress.
Independence Skill: Labels & Folders
Let’s make email easier to manage.
How to create folders/labels:
When your inbox is organized, your brain feels more organized too
Virtual Workspace Setup
Hook
“Your workspace can help your brain focus — or make it harder. Today you’ll use AI to design a workspace that actually works for YOU.”
What Makes a Good Virtual Workspace
A strong workspace includes:
Create Your Ideal Workspace
Students use AI to create an image of their ideal virtual workspace.Prompt Students Copy & Paste “Create an image of a student virtual workspace that helps with focus and organization. Include at least 5 important items from this list or your own ideas: desk, laptop, planner, headphones, lamp, water bottle, notebook, charging station, timer, calendar, comfy chair, quiet sign.” ✅ Must include at least 5 items ✅ Items should support focus or organization
Task Initiation
Starting is the hardest part. Once you begin, your brain follows
Hook
Raise your hand if starting work is sometimes harder than doing the work.
That’s called task initiation — and it’s a skill, not a personality.Task Initiation = Getting started
Interactive Activity
You are not finishing anything.You are just starting for 2 minutes.
Student Directions:Choose one small task (school or personal) Set a 2‑minute timer Work until the timer ends Stop when time is up “Was starting easier than you expected?” “Did the task feel smaller?”
Self‑Monitoring
My biggest start blocker is:⬜ Too big ⬜ Don’t know where to start ⬜ Not motivated ⬜ Distracted ⬜ Fear of mistakes Follow‑up: “When this happens, I usually ________.”
Choose a Start Strategy
A micro‑task is the first 30 seconds of a task.” Give examples:- Open the document
- Write one sentence
- Title the paper
- Read the first question
- Get materials out
Choose one preferred start strategy: ⏱️ 2‑minute timer ✅ Micro‑task (first 30 seconds) 📋 Checklist (do just step 1) 🎧 Music or headphones 🗣️ Ask for help to get started
Wrap Up
You don’t need motivation to start.You start first — motivation comes later.
One strategy I will use to start tasks is ________.
