Academic Executive Function Coaching for Middle, High School or College Students
In my world, no student is ever behind. My role as a coach is to guide and encourage students to move from where they are to where they want to be.
Executive functions are the cognitive skills that manage and organize behaviors, which allow for task completion. Executive function (EF) coaching promotes the growth of self-knowledge and self-confidence in selecting and implementing strategies and skills to complete tasks. Executive functions, such as time management, planning, organization, task initiation, flexibility, and self-control, to name a few, are typically not fully developed until the mid-twenties. Therefore, executive function coaching is beneficial for all students, not just those with LD or ADHD.
Signs of students who may benefit from EF coaching may include:
I help students develop a “toolkit” of strategies and skills to draw from while working towards self-set life and academic goals. As a coach, I work with students to develop learning to learn skills. This is different from a tutor who focuses on academic content. Each of my students is unique; thus, I do not have a set program that I take students through. Instead, I design an individual plan for each student, selecting techniques and strategies from my own “toolkit.” Building a relationship of trust and respect is vital for our work together, as the student and I co-create a plan to reach goals and continue to tweak the plan as we see fit. Most importantly, we celebrate accomplishments together, no matter how small
