Overview

Teaching has changed. Students struggle to focus. Directions have to be repeated. Work that used to take ten minutes now takes twenty... and still doesn't get finished. You plan. You reteach. You redirect. And somehow, it still feels like you're competing with phones, AI, and constant distraction just to get through a lesson. You're not imagining it. And it's not a failure of effort. It's an attention problem. The ProblemToday's students are growing up in an environment designed to interrupt their focus. Constant notifications Endless scrolling Instant answers without thinking Short bursts of stimulation replacing sustained effort Attention is no longer automatic. And most classrooms are not built to compete with that. The SolutionThe Distracted Classroom gives you practical, classroom-tested strategies to rebuild attention and make learning possible again without turning your class into a constant battle. This is not about doing more. It's about doing what works.
