Executive Functioning Checklist: Student Skills Rating Scale for IEP Goals
Executive functioning covers many skills, which makes it hard to pinpoint where a student needs support. This checklist breaks it into ten specific areas so your observations point to targetable skills.
What's Inside
- Ten skill areas: Planning and Organization, Task Initiation, Time Management, Working Memory, Attention Control, Emotional Regulation, Self-Monitoring, Flexibility, Impulse Control, and Goal-Directed Persistence
- Specific, observable skill descriptions under each area, such as breaking tasks into smaller steps or recovering quickly from setbacks
- A three-point rating scale: Needs, Developing, Proficient
How It Helps You
- Separates skill areas so you see real strengths and gaps
- Gives you a starting point for present levels and targeted IEP goals
- Can be repeated to track growth over time
Ways to Use It
Use it as an initial baseline and repeat it periodically, or use the results to plan accommodations.
Who It's For
Special education teachers, case managers, school psychologists, and general education teachers.
