This session will equip senior leaders with the knowledge and tools to transform how their workforce understands and supports attention. Drawing on the neuroscience underpinning the award winning book Take Action on Distraction, you’ll gain a clear framework for embedding attention-boosting practice at scale, empowering staff to use research-informed approaches that improve learning and behaviour across your school or trust.
