Executive functioning skills are a work in progres Executive functioning skills are a work in progress. I think this is such an important point to make, especially for kids and teens who struggle. We all start at different places. And sometimes our strategies look different too. What's great is that we can all work on strategies to be better planners, organizers, and time managers.⁣
⁣
Let's normalize that we are each a work in progress. And that progress looks different for every person too.
Conferencing with students. I know this can take u Conferencing with students. I know this can take up a lot of time depending on the number of kids you have, but I wanted to talk about it as a SEL strategy.⁣
⁣
In my classroom, I set up mini binders for each of my students.  In that binder was a page for each of their goals. For example, we might track grades or homework completion. It could be anything though.⁣
⁣
I would meet once a week with each student to review their progress on those goals. How is it going? What strategies are you using? What's working for you? What's not working? What could you do better next week?⁣
⁣
This doesn't need to take a ton of time per student. Just a few minutes. We would check in, make a plan for next week, and file it away.⁣
⁣
What I realized is that a lot of kids are not as self-aware as we'd like to think they are. Many learners NEED these check ins to understand how they're doing and what they need to do to reach that goal.⁣
⁣
Again, I know that this could be more challenging for classroom teachers with 20+ students, but if you can't do it with every child, consider making it an intervention for the few who are struggling.
