The TPTS Visual Reflection Teacher Workbook from the Think. Plan. Thrive. Series is a reflective planning resource designed specifically for educators to deepen their understanding and intentional support of executive function skills in the classroom. Created by Dr. Dawn Matera and The Executive Function Project, this workbook offers teachers a structured space to think through, visualize, and reflect on how executive functions impact student learning and behavior.

Each of the twelve worksheets focuses on a core executive function skill—such as time management, goal setting, emotional regulation, task initiation, working memory, focus and attention, organization, planning, prioritizing, metacognition, and self-monitoring. For each skill, the workbook provides:

• A concise overview explaining its classroom relevance and common student challenges,

• Reflective prompts guiding teachers to consider strategies and tools for supporting students,

• Creative “Analyze & Illustrate” sections to visually process real-life classroom applications and plan actionable next steps.

This resource helps educators intentionally embed executive function supports into their daily instruction and routines, fostering growth in critical thinking, learning, and self-management for all students. Whether new to executive function work or enhancing existing practice, this workbook encourages thoughtful reflection and proactive planning to create stronger, more supportive classroom environments.
