Executive Function Skills for Teens
When a student struggles to start assignments, manage deadlines, or keep track of materials, traditional tutoring may not address the skills getting in the way. The EF Skills Lab - AI Edition is a hands-on, nine-week small-group program for diverse learners ages 12–15, focused on building practical executive function skills for school and everyday life.
Students work on planning, organization, task initiation, time management, flexibility, and follow-through. They also learn how to use AI thoughtfully as one tool to support their thinking, never as a substitute for it.
