Middle school is the ideal time to help students understand how their brains work and build the habits that set them up for long‑term success. The Finding Flow Solutions curriculum for grades 6–8 uses insights from neuroscience to teach students how to focus their attention, regulate impulses, strengthen memory, and persevere through challenges. Each unit equips learners with practical strategies for productivity, motivation, and collaboration—skills rooted in brain science that support both academic achievement and personal growth. With ready‑to‑use lessons, teachers can guide students in developing the cognitive tools they need to thrive in school and beyond.

Looking for a more engaging way to help students focus their attention and complete assignments? Introduce them to Mihaly Csikszentmihályi’s research on Flow Theory, and show them how to “get in the flow” when they’re working so tasks feel more enjoyable and meaningful.
