Take Back Learning: Episode 2: Beyond Screen Time: Attention Recovery Playbook

Wednesday, October 14, 2026
11:00 a.m. Pacific | 2:00 p.m. Eastern

Many schools have recognized the need to reduce unnecessary screen time, but knowing what to do next is where the real challenge begins.

Drawing on emerging best practices and implementation strategies, this session will help leaders assess current technology use, establish clear expectations, support teachers through change, and develop a school wide approach that prioritizes student engagement over screen dependence. The quality of technology use, educator implementation, and alignment with learning goals matter more than simply counting minutes spent on devices.

You’ll walk away with:

  • An attention recovery playbook for leading change across classrooms and schools
  • A framework for evaluating whether screen use is creating true learning value
  • Strategies for shifting students from consuming content to creating, collaborating, and problem-solving

Whether you’re just beginning the conversation or building on existing efforts, this webinar will help you create a balanced approach where technology serves learning, students remain actively engaged, and screen use becomes more intentional, purposeful, and impactful.
