Executive Function Skills - Teacher Version
Respond to the questions below thinking of your student, then compare your responses to each question with those of your student and/or your student's parent/guardian. Consider which areas align with or are the same between your answers (this may indicate your teen's self-awareness of their strengths and needs in these areas). When you complete this quiz, you will receive a message "Your response has been recorded." Click on "View Score." Transfer your responses to the EF Scoring Sheet. Then refer to EF Scoring Sheet to compare and analyze responses.
Questions composed by school psychologists: Natalya Bogopolskaya, Jennifer Ganz, Kendrea Hart based on content from "Executive Skills in Children and Adolescents" by Peg Dawson and Richard Guare
