What your student is working on, and why

Executive functioning skills are the everyday skills behind getting started, staying with a task, keeping track of things, and bouncing back when plans change. They can be taught. That is what this program does.

How it starts

Your student answers thirty short questions about what usually happens for them at school, with an adult recording their answers. A teacher who knows them answers the same questions separately. The two views are compared.

What the report shows

Strengths both people see, strengths others see that your student may not give themselves credit for, and one or two places where practice will pay off. What each skill means in school, at work, and in life. No grades, no labels.

What your student chooses

The report suggests up to three skills to work on. Your student picks one and says why. A mentor works with them on it every week for six or sixteen weeks, with practice in between.

College and career, too

Along the way your student explores careers with an interest assessment, practices interviews, learns to budget, and maps steps toward graduation and what comes after. Ask what they found out about themselves.

How you can help

Ask what they are practicing this week. Notice when they use it. Keep the usual tools and reminders available; using a checklist or a timer on their own counts as a win, not a crutch.

What we keep, and what we don't

Student records in our system use initials and an ID, never full names. Reports go to the school team and to you. Photographs or work samples are only kept with restricted access. Ask the school for a copy of your student's report at any time.
