New for Spring 2026: Schema Theory Workshop — limited seats available.
A practical professional development workshop that helps teachers capture and sustain student attention using cognitive science and classroom-ready routines.
Attention is the gateway to learning. When students can’t focus, new information never gets properly processed or stored for later use.
In this workshop, educators learn how attention works and how to design instruction that supports it. We cover selective attention, sustained attention, and divided attention, plus what these mean for engagement and learning in K-12 classrooms.
You’ll leave with strategies you can use immediately, such as lesson pacing moves, reducing distractions and split attention, building effective cues and routines, and structuring tasks to keep students cognitively present.
Understand selective, sustained, and divided attention through cognitive science research and neuroscience in education training
Learn evidence-based teaching methods for maintaining attention throughout classroom instruction
Understand how attention and learning connect to working memory and cognitive load in K-12 students
Master brain-based teaching strategies for capturing student attention at the start of lessons and activities
Apply learning science principles to reduce environmental and cognitive distractions that interfere with attention
Implement research-based teaching approaches that boost student engagement through attention management
