Avoiding temptations—not willpower—is the best way to exercise self-control.

K-12 educators, we need your perspective to understand how school phone policies can create an environment where students can focus.

Over a year ago, I became interested in what the science said on teen mental health and social media. I found there was one particular hole in the scientific literature: cell phone policies.  

Thank you, Maureen Tracey-Mooney and FutureEd at Georgetown. It was great to discuss what we’re learning so far with Phones in Focus and why the work isn't done.

Want to help me fill this urgent research gap? Share www.phonesinfocus.org with a K-12 educator in your life.

I recently had the chance to sit down with Angela Duckworth to talk all things cell phones in schools, and the great research she is doing through Phones in Focus to help schools establish the most effective policies on the use of cell phones in schools. As an education policy nerd and as a parent of a 2nd grader, I found our conversation fascinating (and, dare I say, hopeful?).  

You can read the FutureEd at Georgetown Q&A that came out of our chat here:
