Executive Function Skills Mapped to Increasing Levels of Complex Thinking - In her book Building Executive Function: The Missing Link to Achievement, Dr. Nancy Sulla maps the 40 key executive function skills to the important life skills of conscious control, engagement, collaboration, empowerment, efficacy, and leadership. The more teachers think through deliberate activation of executive function skills, the more it will become a part of the classroom culture.
Parent/Guardian Executive Function Survey - Did you know the MyQPortal has Executive Function Surveys that can be shared with parents and guardians? Consider sending this survey home (hard copy or uploading it digitally) so that parents/guardians can give a glimpse into what they are noticing about their child’s EF skills or lack thereof. Then upon returning to the classroom, have students do the same.
We know that parents/guardians may have a varying perception of what their child’s capabilities are. But it can provide important insights for strengths and weaknesses that connect to how students are interacting with the content and where the gaps may lie.

Executive Function: Small-Group Facilitation Grid - This tool is intended for students identified as needing support in one or more executive function skills (via Executive Function Assessment or otherwise). Use the grid to identify focus skills to be developed. This allows you to take a snapshot of a small group or cluster of students.
Social and Emotional Learning and the Executive Function That Supports It - The components for social and emotional learning are supported by the foundational skills of executive function. The skills mapped here for executive function are taken from the book Building Executive Function: The Missing Link to Student Achievement by Dr. Nancy Sulla.

Executive Function Surveys
Executive Function Surveys
This tool is intended to support you and your students in identifying their executive function skills as strengths and those needing further development. For Elementary, consider merging the two versions below!
Pro Tip: Teachers should facilitate the completion of this activity as needed based on individual student development. To help primary students assess their level of executive function, they should complete the Primary Executive Function Survey. After the initial completion of this survey, students should revisit the survey two to three times in the year to help establish individual growth and areas where executive function skills need to be further developed. Helping children identify their growth can be a powerful way to help students strengthen their self-awareness skills.
