2026.22 Scanning - You cannot respond to what you do not see
from Four Dimensions for Teachers · host Caroline Blackley
In this episode, Caroline explores how awareness drives teacher decision‑making, and why cognitive load, selective attention, and reactive teaching make scanning harder under pressure. We unpack Sweller’s Cognitive Load Theory, Kahneman’s System 1 and System 2 thinking, and how the 4D Framework’s Meerkat and ESI cycle help teachers shift from reactive to intentional decisions. A practical, steadying episode for teachers who want to reduce load, strengthen clarity, and protect the Flow of Learning.To learn more about Caroline and her 4 Dimensions Framework, head to her website:https://carolineblackley.com/Or check her out on social media here:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-mIZhtX4Ewqlsd1ZQXn6dw?view_as=subscriberFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/Caroline-Blackley-Four-Dimensions-1245912172087988/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-blackley-080667108/
