Timer®

for Teachers: Middle/High School

Whether the time seems to pass slowly or quickly, Time Timer® products show students an accurate visual representation of passing time and don’t require an understanding of numbers and time. It can be as simple as increasing the ability to focus on a task at hand or easing the anxiety associated with transitioning between activities. By making time a concrete visual, students gain the confidence and focus they need to succeed. It has been clinically proven to increase self-regulation in children* and fosters independence and focus in a positive learning environment.
