Once Upon A Time I dreamed of growing up and being just like her. I dreamed of having an adoring husband, two kids, and a beautiful home where my family would come together and enjoy all of our happy ever afters. But fate had other plans. My road wasn’t easy, it was heartbreaking, and she was there, in the distance, silently supporting me. When all the angst, all the pain, worked its way out, she was there too, but not how she’d always promised, she was there from an unbridgeable distance. With distance and broken promises, I began to build a wall. She would never be the mother she was, and I would not allow her to hinder the mother I am. Life is nothing without love. Life is nothing without hope. Life is nothing without dreams. And life is not lived fully until you understand the finality of… Goodbye.

A research-based guide to help teachers support students with attention challenges. Why can't my students pay attention? It's a deceptively simple question that's increasingly on teachers' minds. It's not about "fixing" students facing distractions—digital or otherwise. Rather, it's about looking at inattention in new ways and adopting proven, attention-promoting strategies that are learner-centered, respectful, and effective. In Promoting Student Attention, psychologist and educator Robin Wisniewski • Discusses what attention is and offers a framework for thinking about student attention. • Explains how to assess inattention in the classroom and find root causes. • Introduces five principles for promoting attention, along with strategies to use right away. • Addresses ADHD—what it is and isn't—and presents targeted approaches to help students with specific inattention or impulsivity issues. • Shares the experiences of real teachers who have created conditions for attention in their classrooms. Students can't learn if they can't focus. Use this book to better support students who struggle with attention issues and to create an improved learning environment for all the students you teach.
