Attention Challenges Simulation: Boring Lecture with a Quiz

http://www.pathfinderslearning.com

In this video, Pathfinders' Executive Director Brenda Lana, leads a group of parents and teachers through a simulation of what life is like for kids with trouble paying attention.

Bland information is presented with no expression and the coach's back is turned away from the class. A helper occasionally instructs the group to think about a different topic, which is actually more interesting than the ongoing lecture, and so provides the experience of internal distracters.

About Brenda Lana:
Brenda's passion to help struggling students become successful learners led to the establishment of Pathfinders in 2003. She began her career in education in 1994 at a small private school and later taught third, fourth, and fifth grade in the Saddleback Unified School District in Southern California. She worked at the Orange County Department of Education as a Reading Resource Teacher in Special Education where she trained teachers in reading instruction and facilitated classroom instruction. She is certified as a Dyslexia Remediation Specialist.

About Pathfinders Learning:
Pathfinders uses cutting-edge, researched, brain-based tools and methods to provide cognitive training and solve underlying learning problems so that children, as well as adults, who find learning slow, painful, and difficult can increase confidence, learn with ease, and work independently.

Pathfinders is different from most learning centers because we focus on solving learning differences by using a developmental, individualized approach addressing the whole person. We use a variety of programs to positively impact the learning experiences of students who consistently struggle in school, students who are bright and want an edge in school, or anyone who just wants to learn with less effort, including adults.
