Once a goal is met, have the student write a Success Plan (figure 1.8 or appendix 1.14) outlining the steps he or she will follow as he or she transitions to using the strategy independently. Reviewing the EF Planning Chart (table 1.5) will provide information that will help in the determination of whether the student’s goals have been met.

To determine whether a goal has been met, look at the data for the entire period the student has been using the strategy. Review the data with the student and discuss the following key questions:

 Does he or she feel the strategy is helping? Do the data support this perception?

 Does he or she feel it would be beneficial to continue to use this strategy?

 Does he or she feel ready to move on to another goal for this executive function?

The plan becomes a self-advocating tool the student can use for seeking the assistance he or she needs to achieve ongoing success. In this document, the student should identify the following:

 What I want to do next

 Difficulties that I may have

 Strategies I can use to help myself

 What the teacher can do to help me succeed

Note: Having met the Game Plan goals does not mean the student will no longer need UDL considerations for lessons, but it does mean the student is improving in that executive function skill.

A blank template for the Sample Student Success Plan for both Elementary and Secondary Students is available in Appendix 1.14, and blank templates, modifiable versions of materials, and strategy cards can be found at http://resources.corwin.com/ExecutiveFunctioning.

The completion of the Game Plan provides the opportunity to identify new EF deficit challenges for the student to work on. Most students experience difficulty in several areas of executive function. The next step would be to return to the executive function planning chart to determine other EF deficits to address while the student continues to maintain and generalize previously learned strategies.

Examples of how to apply the 7-Step Model for Executive Function Skills Training will be provided for each of the EFs throughout the book, as will strategies to use with different executive function skills. Case studies are used to demonstrate the entire seven-step process of executive function skills training for students with different EF skill deficits. Readers will have the opportunity to self-assess their learning with sample case studies. Templates and downloadables are provided for all strategy cards and forms so that readers can implement the 7-Step Model in their classrooms. If you are asking yourself whether this model, as developed originally or modified, will work for you, the section below will provide information for your consideration.
