TILT Book Club: Distracted: Why Students Can’t Focus and What You Can Do About it

Join some colleagues in reading and exploring a TILT book kit. Each kit includes: 4 copies of the book, guiding questions, optional activities, a recommended meeting schedule, and suggestions for leading the group – everything you need to run a successful book club. Each book is aligned with the domains of the Teaching Effectiveness Framework (TEF) to support your teaching goal or earn credit for the Teaching Effectiveness Initiative (TEI) program for participating in or leading a book club. TILT will contact you with your group members’ contact information, how to pick up a copy of the book, and further instructions.
TEF Alignment: Varies depending on book choice.

BOOK
Distracted: Why Students Can’t Focus and What You Can Do About It by James M. Lang

In Distracted, Lang rethinks the practice of teaching, revealing how educators can structure their classrooms less as distraction-free zones and more as environments where they can actively cultivate their students’ attention. Brimming with ideas and grounded in new research, Distracted offers an innovative plan for the most important lesson of all: how to learn.
