CREATE A CALM, FOCUSED CLASSROOM—WITHOUT THE DAILY STRUGGLE

Tools for Focus

FREE Evidence-Based Lesson for K–12 Teachers

Does this sound familiar?

  • You’re spending more time managing behaviour than teaching.

  • Students are distracted, restless, or zoning out during lessons.

  • You’re exhausted from repeating directions and trying to keep everyone on task.

The truth is: just like reading or math, focus is a skill that must be taught—explicitly and consistently.

That’s why we created Tools for Focus—a free, no-prep SEL lesson that gives your students practical strategies to manage distractions and stay engaged in learning.

What’s Inside This Free Lesson

  • A pre-teaching activity to help students identify internal and external distractions

  • Two ready-to-use mindfulness lesson plans that teach focus strategies step by step

  • A post-teaching activity where students discover how to apply strategies independently

  • A classroom poster to remind students they can choose focus anytime

  • A mindfulness coloring page with the same empowering message

  • A clear teacher guide—made by experienced classroom teachers

  • Bonus: Information on where to find more evidence-based SEL tools for behaviour and emotion regulation

No guesswork. No prep.

Just download and teach.
