https://www.researchgate.net/public...on_Treatment_and_Intervention_in_SchoolsNote: one of the authors is also the primary author of a cognitive measure intended to assess certain aspects of EF. He's also highly-regarded in the field, but one should always be aware of possible conflicts of interest.

Standard text:
https://www.amazon.com/Executive-Function-Education-Second-Practice/dp/1462534538/Lynn Meltzer is the editor, but the chapter authors also include many of the big names.
A few more names:
George McCloskey (author of neuropsych & EF tests)
Russell Barkley (author of tons of popular-level and professional books on ADHD)
Jack Naglieri (author of an EF processing test)
Peter Isquith (author of a go-to EF rating scale)
Richard Guare (Peg Dawson works closely with him, but with a more applied angle. Co-authored "Smart but Scattered")
Dawson & Guare now run an EF coaching business, working mainly through a "train the trainer" model, so although they aren't generating as much research, they do have a lot of practical suggestions and techniques.
A number of the above names worked together or in close proximity (many in the Boston area) at one time or another, so there's a fair amount of cross-pollination among them.
The reason so much of the research is on preschool is because that's the critical period for maximum benefit. It's not impossible to teach older children and adolescents, of course, or even adults, but brain plasticity gives one a bigger payoff in early childhood.
