Are you interested in joining a community dedicated to understanding and equipping educators with the necessary knowledge/tools to shift student engagement in classrooms? If so, this community might be for you…
EDUCATORS for ATTENTION — a community network of teachers, facilitators, and education-focused community members committed to gathering, sharing resources, and developing techniques to build Sanctuaries of Attention in their classrooms and learning environments.
