I often help my students to develop metacognitive skills by asking them to create their own graphic organizers or manuals that can guide them through the sequence of steps required to complete an activity.

Most teachers have excellent executive functioning skills, so when they come across students that struggle in this arena, they may have little compassion or patience.
