“They just can’t concentrate anymore.”
I hear versions of this from teachers all the time.
Pupils chatting when they should be listening.
Losing track of instructions.
Giving up when a task becomes difficult.
Constantly looking for distraction.
Struggling to sustain attention long enough to think deeply and learn.
But here’s the question:
Do we really understand what attention is – and what teachers can actually do to support it?
Because telling a child to “pay attention” isn’t a strategy.
At my Improving Attention Workshop, we’ll look at the science behind attention and distraction, what happens when our attention is pulled away, why the modern digital environment makes this harder, and — most importantly — what teachers can actually do in the classroom to help pupils develop better attention habits.
This isn’t about another behaviour programme or a list of quick-fix techniques.
It’s about understanding the learning process well enough to make better decisions about teaching.
