This resource is a structured intervention programme designed to support pupils, in developing positive behaviours, emotional regulation skills, and improved social interactions. The programme is tailored to address specific behavioural issues identified in ABC Behaviour Logs and is implemented through one-on-one sessions with a learning mentor.

The Executive Functioning Questionnaire is a tool designed to assess various aspects of executive functioning in individuals, particularly students. Executive functions are cognitive processes that help with managing oneself and one’s resources to achieve a goal. These functions include skills such as impulse control, planning, prioritising, emotional regulation, task initiation, and working memory. Purpose The primary purpose of this questionnaire is to identify specific areas of executive functioning that may need development or support. By evaluating responses to various statements, educators, psychologists, or parents can pinpoint strengths and weaknesses in a student’s executive functioning skills. Usage The questionnaire typically includes a series of statements related to different executive functions. Respondents (teachers, parents, or the students themselves) indicate whether each statement is true (Yes) or not true (No) for the individual being assessed. The areas covered in the questionnaire include:

The purpose of this 6-week intervention is to enhance the mental flexibility of 7–11-year-old pupils by encouraging them to view problems from multiple perspectives, adapt to changing situations, and develop creative problem-solving skills. Through a series of structured activities, role-playing scenarios, and engaging games, pupils will practise transitioning between tasks, shifting rules, and taking on different viewpoints. This intervention aims to build resilience, improve social interactions, and foster a growth mindset, ultimately helping pupils become more adaptable and confident in navigating various challenges both in and out of the classroom. By praising adaptable behaviour and reflecting on their progress, pupils will be motivated to continue developing these essential skills.

The purpose of this intervention is to equip 7–11-year-olds with essential planning and prioritising skills that will enhance their ability to manage daily tasks and achieve their goals. By breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps and using visual schedules, pupils will learn to organise their time effectively. Engaging in goal-setting activities and regularly reviewing progress will help them develop a sense of responsibility and self-motivation. Additionally, practising sequencing through storytelling and task organisation will improve their cognitive skills and ability to follow logical steps. Overall, this intervention aims to foster independence, improve academic performance, and build a foundation for lifelong success in personal and academic endeavours.

The purpose of this intervention is to enhance the working memory of pupils aged 7-11 years old through a structured, multi-faceted approach. By simplifying instructions and breaking them into smaller chunks, pupils can better understand and retain information. Engaging in memory games and using visual aids supports the development of recall skills in a fun and interactive manner. Tools like flashcards and digital apps provide additional opportunities for practice and reinforcement. Repetition and practice ensure that information is retained over the long term, while creating songs or rhymes makes learning sequences enjoyable and memorable. Overall, this intervention aims to improve pupils’ working memory, thereby enhancing their ability to learn and perform academically.

This comprehensive 6-week intervention plan is designed to help children aged 7-11 develop their executive function skills, with a specific focus on response inhibition.
