The Architecture of Attention: Reclaiming Focus, Play, and Stillness in the Secondary School

September 16, 2026 @ 10:00-11:00AM UTC

This webinar provides the data-driven "insider" language and design-thinking tools needed to pitch systemic shifts to leadership, ensuring that stillness is recognized as a prerequisite for academic rigor. Counselors will leave with an advocacy roadmap to move wellness from the periphery into the academic core, reclaiming the secondary school as a space where the teen brain can thrive.
