Executive Functioning Skills Checklist for High School: A Comprehensive Tool for Special Education Professionals
This high school checklist helps special education professionals and behavior specialists assess and support high school students as they prepare for post-secondary life. It focuses on 12 essential executive functioning areas with subskills, interventions, and sample goals tailored for IEP, FBA, and BIP plans at the high school level. This checklist addresses skills necessary for academic success, personal responsibility, and independence, such as goal-setting, emotional regulation, and time management.
What Problem Does This Solve?
High school students with executive functioning deficits often face difficulties in managing complex assignments, maintaining focus, and balancing school with other responsibilities. These deficits can hinder academic progress and impact their readiness for life beyond high school. This checklist allows educators to assess executive function skills, identify areas needing support, and provide structured interventions that equip students with strategies for success in academics, social situations, and personal growth.
Who This Helps
This tool is designed for teachers, specialists, and support staff working with high school students who require additional support in one or more executive functioning areas. Whether you’re establishing IEP goals, conducting an FBA, or implementing a BIP, this checklist provides a roadmap for identifying student needs and setting personalized goals that foster independence and responsibility.
Time-Saving Solution
With targeted interventions and measurable goals, this checklist allows educators to save time by providing ready-made, developmentally appropriate interventions and sample goals. Educators can focus on implementing and adapting these goals to meet individual needs, helping high school students progress toward greater autonomy and skill mastery.
What’s Included?
12 Executive Functioning Areas: Full coverage of crucial skills for high school success, such as planning, self-motivation, and impulse control.
Age-Appropriate Subskills: Each executive functioning skill is broken down into high school-relevant subskills, making assessments focused and effective.
Targeted Interventions: Interventions are designed for high school students, promoting independence and preparing them for life beyond school.
Measurable Goals: Ready-to-use sample goals ideal for IEP, FBA, and BIP implementation, tailored to support high school-level skills and maturity.
