Psychology • Instruction • Technology
A quick refuel for tired teachers: one idea from psychology, one instructional move, and one tech thought worth your time.
Psychology
Overstimulated brains struggle to filter what matters. Fidgeting, zoning out, and quick tempers are often signs of a system that has hit capacity.
Instruction
Reduce cognitive noise where you can. Fewer directions, cleaner slides, and predictable routines free up mental space for learning.
Technology
Classroom music can help some students focus and push others over the edge. Use it intentionally and be ready to turn it off.
