What's going on beneath the surface?

How can we support learning when attention fades quickly in particular children?

In this live session, I’ll share thoughts on:

• what neuroscience tells us about the reward system and how rhythm shapes learning.

• how to recognise the three phases as they appear in the classroom.

• why these shifts matter for literacy, fluency, and long-term engagement.

• what leaders can do now to support staff, protect learning, and strengthen pupils’ capacity to thrive.

This session will offer practical insight and clarity in terms of motivation, anticipation and reward.
