Executive functioning skills help students plan, start, and complete their schoolwork successfully. When these skills are developed, students become more organized, independent, and confident learners. Our staff created the"3 T's" framework based on what we were seeing, and not seeing, in students' daily learning habits and the strategies that best support student success. 

The 3 T's for Success

⏰ Time 

Create a consistent homework routine by setting aside a regular time and quiet space for schoolwork. Gather materials before starting and reduce distractions by limiting phone notifications and other interruptions. Ask your child: "What time are you setting aside for schoolwork today?" 

✅ Task 

Help your child understand what needs to be done by checking their agenda, Teams, or Moodle, identifying upcoming assignments, and prioritizing tasks by due date and importance. Breaking larger projects into smaller steps can make them more manageable. Ask: "What do you need to finish for tomorrow?" 

🎯 Take Charge 

Encourage your child to begin with their highest-priority task, work in focused 20-30 minute blocks, and take short breaks. Before finishing, they should review their work and ensure they are prepared for the next school day. Ask: "Is everything ready in your backpack for tomorrow?" 

Small, consistent daily habits can make a significant difference in a student's ability to stay organized, manage their responsibilities, and achieve success both in and out of the classroom. We encourage families to use these simple strategies at home to support the development of strong executive functioning skills.
