This article is full of good information for dealing with many types of students not just those with ADHD. One that I really like is asking the student what works best. He/She will know what they need. If they have been diagnosed with ADHD they will have coping tips from doctors and parents. Find out what they are and use them.
It was a big list of things to take into consideration, but all important. The daily progress reports, chunking of work and maintaining structure are all crucial. It takes more effort from the teacher, but if you want the student to learn and behave so other students can learn these steps will need to be taken. All of these may not need to be utilized. It is up to the teacher and parents to find what works best for the individual and go from there. It adds a fun element to the job.

I am so glad that as a teacher, you have the attitude of this being fun. I would be excited about the benefits, but some of the work of trying to figure out what works seems daunting. I would imagine, that even with the child's input that this doesn't work over night and there could potentially be some very difficult days for all involved.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great view point from the formal end of teaching but I still wonder about the informal teaching like we do. How can we as more informal educators utilize these techniques in our setting of the outdoors education?
ReplyDeleteYou make a good point Aaron and I think it is one worth investigating further. We have kids for such a short amount of time, we don't know their history and we are in a highly stimulating environment (the outdoors). I think we should all continue talking and sharing what we learn about this, as well as pick Ken and Matt's brains since they have had experience with these techniques.
