Provide students with a surrogate brain while their frontal lobe is in the developmental stage - Giving students an "artificial frontal lobe" is almost like giving the brain a booster or a head start in the learning process.
Teach students skills in an explicit and systematic way - Be clear about when tasks are due by listing dates on the school’s LMS and class page. At the beginning of each month, have students write dates on a monthly calendar of any assessment or due date you will require to Teach the material
Teach skills in real-life context - Have students track how much time it takes them to complete a task completely undisturbed by using a timer or an app like RescueTime, then write their start and finish time.
Help with the working memory overload - You might hear students say things like, “I can't keep all my thoughts in my head” or “everything you're saying is just too much, and it makes my head hurt.” These are signs of memory overload.
Provide repeated opportunities for guided practice - Use guided oral reading practice exercises. Many students with executive function skills find reading boring and laborious. Use writing templates, math templates, and reading diagrams throughout the year.
Develop routines and stick to them - Kiss your brain with consistency! The brain loves predictability! When students enter your learning space, always have a calendar with upcoming assessments and due dates of an assigned task.
Allow students to just be human in your presence - Open up the class with check-ins. Take time to ask each student how they are Arriving at class. I created my own set of emojipresssions, google slides and use online resources.
