EFWorks Library:
The How + The Why

There is a growing number of resources on the importance of executive function skills for adult success, the factors that influence their development and strategies for supporting their use and development in human service programs.  The problem is, these resources are scattered across the internet and not always easy to find. The purpose of the EFWorks Library is to serve as a curated filing cabinet of resources your program can use to learn about and implement an Executive Function-informed approach to human service program delivery.

Our criteria for selecting resources are simple.

Resources must be...
  • light on jargon and technical language,
  • relevant to programs, and
  • helpful for newcomers to get a good grounding in this work.

The EFWorks Library was created through a collaboration between the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) and Global Learning Partners (GLP), and it is maintained by CBPP.  If you would like to suggest a resource for us to consider adding to the site, please contact LaDonna Pavetti.

ABOUT CBPP

CBPP is a nonpartisan research and policy institute. We pursue federal and state policies designed both to reduce poverty and inequality and to restore fiscal responsibility in equitable and effective ways. We apply our deep expertise in programs and policies that help low-income people, in order to help inform debates and achieve better policy and program outcomes.

We work directly with state, county and local program administrators to increase access to programs that help people meet their basic needs and to provide program recipients with access to high quality work opportunities that will improve their short and long-term outcomes.   This project and the Center's broader work on Executive Function was funded by the Annie E Casey Foundation.  A key component of this effort was the development of a flexible framework — Goal, Plan, Do, Review/Revise — that programs can use to better integrate executive function principles and concepts into existing programs.

ABOUT GLP

GLP is a small, women-owned business that supports organizations and individuals to effectively assess, design, facilitate and evaluate learning. We envision a world where deep learning drives our collective well-being.

Recently, GLP partnered on the development of Goal, Plan, Do, Review/Revise (GPDR/R) learning materials, including both a manual for frontline staff and a self-guided virtual course.  We also co-produced materials for CalWORKs 2.0, including an Evidence-to-Practice learning package.

Along our journey, we became increasingly aware of the need for a “one stop shop” where staff could easily access the array of materials on EF Skills and goal achievement. To that end, we co-created this website with CBPP, and hope that you find it extremely useful!
