Distracted! How to Cultivate Engagement in Today’s Classroom

September 25, 2025 @ 2:20 pm - 3:35 pm

Yes, humans may be wired for distraction, but today’s classrooms face a perfect storm. Technology, social media, competing demands, and, yes, stress create an environment where attention is constantly under siege. While distraction is a major barrier to learning, it doesn’t have to be a foregone conclusion. In this workshop, we’ll unpack what distraction really is, how it affects our students, and how you can respond with intention, no matter your instructional role. We’ll explore research-backed strategies to foster meaningful engagement, and you’ll leave with practical tools tailored to your teaching context—whether you lead discussions, labs, or lectures. By recognizing the realities of distraction, you’ll be better equipped to create active learning environments where students stay engaged and take ownership of their learning.
