Author James M. Lang argues that how we teach is often at odds with how students learn. Classrooms are designed to force students into long periods of intense focus, but emerging science reveals that the brain is wired for distraction. We learn best when able to actively seek and synthesize new information.  Brimming with ideas and grounded in new research, Distracted offers an innovative plan for the most important lesson of all: how to learn. Group meetings will occur monthly during the semester.
