I used the Executives Skills Questionnaire from the appendix with my students at the beginning of the semester and then led a discussion about how knowing their strengths and weaknesses can help them plan for success in the course. For my introductory psychology course, we also talked about how executive skills highlight the different interests of psychology (e.g., biopsychology, cognitive psychology, school/educational psychology, personality).

Many thanks to the UCA Center for Teaching and Leadership for this book and the encouragement to explore executive skills training/coaching as a tool for supporting content mastery and life integration in our college classrooms. ]]> 4.17 2012

review:
Great read on executive skills, coaching, and how to integrate these concepts into a classroom. The main focus was elementary and secondary classrooms, but the authors did make some connections with the college classroom.
