Executive functioning is the set of essential skills for success in school and in life. The skills we use every day to accomplish tasks include planning, staying organized, paying attention, managing your time, using flexible thinking, and persevering through tough situations. Executive functioning skills are especially important for students as they prioritize tasks, focus on key concepts during lectures and tests, recall information from memory when needed, and stay organized throughout their academic journey.
