Executive Function Activity 1

Explore these tools to decide if you could use them in your district:

• Student Focus Cards - Helping students reflect on how well they are focusing on their work (Spanish version)

• Task Persistence Card- Helping students tackle the challenge of persisting in a difficult task (Spanish version)

• If...Then Planning - Having students decide, in advance, how to avoid becoming distracted and off task (Spanish version) (optional blog post)

Optional: Read my article "Designing Educational Spaces That Support Executive Function” to see how you might create the same "virtual" spaces to build executive function in a hybrid learning environment.
