Support executive function development by giving students a tool to break tasks into smaller, more manageable parts. This tool strengthens metacognition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility, leading to better planning and task initiation. You can teach this strategy to all students and integrate it into their daily routine. It can be used for academic tasks (like starting a project or completed an assignment) or personal tasks (like getting ready for a soccer game or planning a party).
