Attention!! A meta-analysis

Are you really paying attention?

This presentation will challenge your attention on attention and leave you questioning how your school is tackling this very real fragmentation on our ability to focus. We will explore the use of devices Haidt (2024), apps, socials Haugen (2023), and in-person connection Kline (2020), while sharing how we are trying to undo some of our policies in response to the strong evidence. Join us and be part of advocating for change.
