Teach Executive Function Skills with Help from Effective Students
Teaching time management, organizational skills, and study skills, is a challenging task when you are inundated with state-based test scores and performance goals from your administration. Implementing the Effective Student™ course into your classroom and curriculum can help.
Executive Functioning Lesson Plans for Teachers
Educators love Effective Students because we make it easier to teach executive function content and time management skills by helping your students better self-manage their academics. With assistance from our executive functioning training program for teachers, in as little as 15 minutes each week, your students can overcome learning difficulties and develop the executive function skills they need to succeed in Elementary School and High School.

“Thank you so much for the presentation today. My background is in Developmental Psychology, so much of this was familiar, however, I really appreciated hearing about it in the context of working with our students. One of my goals with students is to create awareness about these skills to help with college (and life!) readiness. I have saved your information for possible future referrals and already shared your information with a friend.”

The overall goal is to help students achieve success with academic content. (per page 5 of the manual). I have to add that the goal is broader and deeper than helping students and the success being purely academic. The students are people – future parents and business owners, and the success might manifest itself in academics right now, but we are helping to train habits of self-discipline that will allow these people to be successful in life. One never outgrows the need for good organization, good time management; nor the need to know oneself or to know what activities are effective for learning and how to self evaluate for equal or greater success in the future.
