Brain Boss Skills Lesson Plan

Students will understand and apply key executive functioning skills—planning, organization, time management, and self-monitoring—to manage academic tasks more effectively. They will practice using a planning template and a self-monitoring checklist to develop and reflect on their organizational strategies.

Strong executive functioning skills help students break down assignments, manage their time, and monitor progress. Building these skills in 7th grade fosters independence, reduces stress, and improves academic performance across subjects.
