FINDING FLOW Solutions: A new K-12 curriculum to teach kids productivity habits
Does it feel like every year, you have more and more students who COULD be successful in class, but just won’t “apply themselves”?
Are your students prone to shutting down when things are hard, giving up when they don’t understand, and not putting forth the necessary effort to complete assignments?
None of these issues can be solved with lecturing, tutoring, additional homework, or having an adult endlessly cajole kids to “buckle down” and “stay focused.”
No matter how many times you say to young people, “You can do this; you just have to try,” it won’t change the pattern of behavior.
That’s because kids need strategies for pushing themselves through difficult tasks.
What if your students had the tools to….
- Find their flow during school work so they’re totally immersed
- Take initiative in learning new things and problem-solving
- Focus on assignments and concentrate with fewer distractions
- Manage their time well and prioritize tasks
- Create healthy sleep, work, and play habits to maximize energy
- Tap into their creativity and use processes of divergent thinking
It may seem impossible now, but these are teachable skills. Through specific instructional techniques and practice, your students can be taught HOW to learn and HOW to stay focused.
FINDING FLOW Solutions is a new (and growing) collection of resources I’m creating to help…and the first two resources for secondary students are ready now!
