Help students better understand how they learn, plan, organize, and manage responsibilities with this free Executive Functioning Checklist.
 
This printable workbook was designed to help middle school and high school students identify executive functioning strengths, recognize areas that may need additional support, and discover practical strategies they can begin using right away.
 
Students start by completing a self-assessment focused on key executive functioning skills, including planning and prioritizing, organization, time management, task initiation, self-monitoring, and flexible thinking. They then count their responses, identify their highest-scoring categories, and explore strategy pages filled with realistic tools and supports they may want to try.
 
Unlike many executive functioning resources that simply explain skills, this workbook helps students connect their experiences to actionable strategies, reflect on what already works for them, and build a personalized toolbox for success.
