Slide Deck

Task Juggler: Executive Function Coaching

Introduce the Task Juggler session and set expectations. Emphasize that we’ll practice breaking down assignments, prioritizing tasks, planning next steps, and reflecting.

Warm-Up: Quick Priority Quiz

Use the script to read each scenario aloud. After each, pause to have the student choose which task to do first and explain why.

Step 1: Identify Your Assignment

Ask the student to name today’s assignment and due date. Guide them to list every part in column 1 of the organizer.

Step 2: Break Down the Steps

Prompt the student for each listed item: “What exactly needs to be done?” and “What materials will you need?” Fill columns 2 accordingly.

Step 3: Prioritize & Estimate Time

Remind the student of their quiz choices: consider due dates and effort. Have them estimate times and assign priority numbers.

Step 4: Plan Your Next Session

Encourage the student to commit to a specific start time for step 1. Remind them to consult the organizer if they get stuck.

Cool-Down: Progress Self-Check

Guide the student through each reflection question. Celebrate successes and set one goal for next time.

Closing & Next Steps

Wrap up the session by celebrating progress and encouraging use of the organizer daily. Preview next session.
