One of the most challenging skills to learn for students today is how to focus. This is an essential component of learning and one of the core elements of executive skills functions. In this lesson the teacher will introduce the concepts of focus and distraction. These ideas will be introduced in the context of how a teen brain learns. The teacher will lead a discussion about the topic with a presentation, then invite students to discuss the information and how it relates to their experience as a learner. There will be a short quiz at the end.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about the concepts of focus and distraction as they relate to teen brains and learning.
