The Neurobiology of Student Attention Spans (And What Teachers Should Do) I

Are students’ attention spans really getting shorter, or is something else happening in the brain? In this episode of Miss Estruch Teach & Tell, I unpack the neuroscience behind student attention, executive function, and focus. We look at what research actually says about attention spans, the role of the prefrontal cortex, dopamine, and digital distraction, and why staying focused feels harder for young people than ever before. More importantly, we tackle the question teachers are asking everywhere right now: should we be adapting lessons to shorter attention spans, or actively training students to focus for longer? This episode explores: • The neurobiology of attention and executive function • Why novelty and distraction are rewiring attention habits • The difference between catering for attention limits and training focus • Whether more activities, images, and movement actually help • Evidence based strategies to build attention stamina in the classroom If you want neuroscience informed, realistic strategies that improve engagement without turning lessons into entertainment, this episode is for you. 🎙 Welcome to Miss Estruch Teach & Tell!
