This resource provides an in-depth exploration of Executive Function (EF), likening it to the CEO of the brain that organizes thoughts, tasks, and impulses. It details the role of the prefrontal cortex in decision-making and impulse control, highlighting the importance of developing executive skills such as inhibition, planning, working memory, prioritization, and metacognition. The module offers vocabulary-building opportunities, practical applications of executive skills, and reflection exercises that encourage students to analyze their own decision-making processes and self-management strategies. Through guided scenarios and strategy selection activities, students learn how to enhance their executive functioning in academic and personal contexts, fostering better time management, task initiation, and emotional control.
