Lesson Plan

Brain Bosses Unite Lesson Plan

Students will learn to identify and practice executive functioning skills—planning, organization, and self-control—through interactive sorting and team challenges. By session end, each student will apply at least one Brain Boss strategy in a group task.

Strengthening executive functioning in 3rd graders boosts focus, task management, and confidence. These core skills help students follow routines, regulate behavior, and work independently, improving overall classroom success.
