Author Ellen I. Linnihan illuminates three basic modes of operation—low, medium, and high concentration—that teachers must master to optimize their time. By understanding their classroom’s rhythm and completing the right work during the different modes, teachers can more efficiently reach their classroom goals and, therefore, improve their lives in and out of school.

Educators can use this book to:

• Determine where to streamline daily work
• Explore tools for maximizing efforts
• Learn effective teacher and student time-management strategies designed for three different modes of concentration
• Know what the classroom looks and sounds like during low-, medium-, and high-concentration modes
• Field reflection questions that encourage reconsideration of how and when to complete certain tasks
