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.Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello and welcome to my classroom.
I'm thrilled you've decided to stop by and get to know me. I hope you'll join me for a class.
I'm a passionate educator with more than 20 years of teaching experience. I've taught everything from skiing in the Canadian Rockies to yoga in Vietnam - not to mention the regular K-12 and university classes. Teaching online is a passion I am developing and I am so excited we are on this journey together.
What else can I tell you? I have three university degrees - an MSc, a BA English, and a BBA Marketing. I'm also a certified counsellor and life-coach with more than 10 years experience supporting clients. I also have CELTA and TEFL-C certification and have taught ESL for more than five years, I moved to teaching only online full time just over a year ago.
I specialize in several different subjects - including:
English
business communications
public relations
international relations
psychology - personal development
ethics
exam preparation - IELTS, FCE, A-levels, SAT
I have experience with many different international curricula: IB, Cambridge, post-secondary.
My classes are hands-on and student centered. I focused on individual development and supporting my students to achieve excellent results.
I love to travel and have visited more than 80 countries and lived on four continents and nine countries. I teach yoga and am a professional life coach and mental health counsellor.Reviews
