The Attention Toolkit
The 4E Cascade Mapper
Learning runs through four stages — Encounter, Engagement, Encoding, Embedding.
What it does
Learning runs through four stages — Encounter, Engagement, Encoding, Embedding. Each can fail independently. Find your broken link.
Before and after


How to use it
- Describe how your lesson handles each stage. The mapper finds the stage where the cascade breaks — because everything downstream of a break is wasted. Write how your lesson secures each stage. Stage one gates everything; if attention isn't won, nothing else can happen.
