Classroom implementation

How the SPARQ-EF™ System works.

1. Fostering Attention Development

Notice where attention is and practice directing it.

2. Establishing Classroom Routines and Rules

Turn routines and expectations into steps students can follow.

3. Regulating Through Tasks

Plan a task, get started, and stay with it.

4. Learning Through Self-Evaluation

Reflect, notice what worked, and make adjustments.

Most lessons take 15–30 minutes. Follow the phases in order or choose lessons based on your students' needs.
