Question 1

What is Attention-Ready Schools™?

Accepted Answer

Attention-Ready Schools™ is a school-wide professional learning framework from The Attention Institute. It starts with practical faculty training on attention, executive function, ADHD, and regulation, and can grow into an annual Attention-Ready School membership with a baseline, measurement, and a designation pathway.

Question 2

How much does attention and ADHD training for teachers cost?

Accepted Answer

Attention and ADHD training for teachers costs $995 for one 90-minute live virtual session delivered to an entire faculty. An annual school-wide membership costs $4,995 per year for up to 50 teachers, $7,995 for 51–100 teachers, and $9,995 for 100 or more teachers. Districts receive custom pricing.

Question 3

How does a school start?

Accepted Answer

A school starts with one 90-minute live virtual faculty training for $995, or joins as an annual Attention-Ready School beginning at $4,995 per year for up to 50 teachers. Both options cover every adult in the building, and pricing is published without a form.

Question 4

Is Attention-Ready Schools training in person or virtual?

Accepted Answer

Attention-Ready Schools training is delivered live and virtually, so there is no travel cost and no substitute coverage to arrange. Sessions run during a faculty meeting or PD day and are recorded, so staff who cannot attend live still get the full material and a certificate of completion.

Question 5

How long is a faculty training session?

Accepted Answer

A faculty training session is 90 minutes long, delivered live and virtually to the entire staff. That length fits a typical faculty meeting or a block of a scheduled professional development day, and it includes practical strategies and handouts teachers can use in class the next morning.

Question 6

Can a school pay by purchase order?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A school can pay by credit card, invoice, or purchase order. We provide a formal quote, a W-9, and vendor registration forms so a school can purchase by direct purchase order. Your business manager can confirm your school's own purchasing thresholds and process.

Question 7

Does this count for in-service or professional-learning credit?

Accepted Answer

Certificates of completion are provided for live and recorded sessions. Whether those hours count for in-service or professional-learning credit depends on your school, district, or state approval requirements. The Attention Institute can work with district professional-learning teams on course documentation and alignment.

Question 8

Who leads the training?

Accepted Answer

Training is led by Eva Luther, BCBA, M.Ed., lead faculty for Attention-Ready Schools. She is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with an M.Ed. in Special Education and 30+ years in public education, and she leads the curriculum as well as the live sessions.

Question 9

What grade levels does this cover?

Accepted Answer

Attention-Ready Schools covers K–12, with grade-band relevant content for elementary, middle, and high school staff. Examples, strategies, and classroom language are matched to the age group in the room rather than delivered as one generic session for every grade level.

Question 10

How is this different from a one-off PD workshop?

Accepted Answer

A one-off workshop ends when the session ends. Attention-Ready Schools trains the whole faculty on one shared framework, takes a school baseline first, and reassesses the same areas later, so a school can see what changed. Annual members keep training all year rather than once.

Question 11

What does the annual membership include?

Accepted Answer

The annual membership includes the Attention-Ready School baseline and teacher feedback and measurement, plus unlimited access to the growing on-demand PD library, live professional learning, classroom tools and resources, grade-band relevant content, school leadership resources, new topics based on teacher needs, certificates of completion, and progress toward the Attention-Ready School™ designation.

Question 12

How many training topics are there?

Accepted Answer

The library is continually growing. Sample topics include Defiance: Can't vs. Won't, Executive Function, Unstructured Time, Big Feelings & Fast Reactions, The Kids You're Missing, Parent Conversations, and Accommodations That Actually Get Used — with new topics added based on teacher feedback and classroom needs.

Question 13

How does the Attention-Ready School designation work?

Accepted Answer

The Attention-Ready School™ designation is earned by annual member schools that build shared teacher knowledge, complete professional learning, and demonstrate continued commitment to attention-ready practices. It is issued by The Attention Institute and is not government accreditation or a state school grade.

Question 14

Who is The Attention Institute?

Accepted Answer

The Attention Institute is a Florida-based organization focused on attention, executive function, and ADHD — supporting children and training the adults around them. Attention-Ready Schools™ is its educator training program, led by Eva Luther, BCBA, M.Ed.

Question 15

Who can participate?

Accepted Answer

Teachers, administrators, counselors, ESE and special education teams, paraprofessionals, and other staff who support students.

Question 16

Is this only about ADHD?

Accepted Answer

No. It also covers executive function, organization, regulation, classroom strategies, accommodations, and student support.

Question 17

How often are live sessions offered?

Accepted Answer

4 or more live educator sessions each month — core training, topic deep dives, Q&A, and office hours.

Question 18

How does the school baseline work?

Accepted Answer

Your school starts with a baseline across five areas: recognizing attention patterns, executive function knowledge, classroom response confidence, regulation and behavior response, and support-pathway knowledge. The same areas are reassessed over time.

Question 19

Can we benchmark against other schools?

Accepted Answer

Your own baseline and progress come first. Broader comparisons will be added as the Attention-Ready dataset becomes large enough to create useful benchmarks for similar schools.

Question 20

How fast can we start?

Accepted Answer

Same day. Enroll, get access, and your staff can join the next live session and the recorded library.

Question 21

We have multiple schools. Is there district pricing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Request a district partnership and we will prepare a district quote.

Question 22

How much time does this take for teachers?

Accepted Answer

Staff join the live sessions that matter to them — or watch recordings on their own schedule. Most teachers start with about an hour a month.

Question 23

Does this replace PBIS, MTSS, or our existing framework?

Accepted Answer

No. It works inside them. Those frameworks assume staff already know how to support attention and executive function. This trains exactly that.

Question 24

What if we are not sure yet?

Accepted Answer

Start with one $995 faculty training. See what your teachers found useful and what they need next, then decide whether an annual membership makes sense.

Question 25

Does membership renew?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It renews annually, and you can cancel before renewal.
