Understanding ADHD in the Classroom
Posted by PLB Blogger · Leave a Comment
So, wondering as I approached this week’s newsletter editorial how I might combine introducing our new course: Understanding ADHD and asking you to PLEASE let your friends, colleagues and fellow teachers know about PLB.
Is it just me (yes, it might be) or are we all a little ADHD (at least sometimes). Seriously, as I review this new course on Understanding ADHD there are moments when I think “Hmmmm I do that.” Random thoughts, for example.
To discuss both seems rather random. Aha! There it was, the connection. You see, students with ADHD are often divergent thinkers: they think of one thing and then think of something else that’s loosely connected- but not really connected.
Did you know that students with ADHD are also creative and out of the box thinkers? They may bring something new and innovative to classroom projects and other group activities. In addition, these students are generally enthusiastic and willing to to learn. They are often the first volunteering to help, and the most excited about a new activity. Their enthusiasm can be infectious and can spread throughout a classroom. Helping students with ADHD to learn may take a little more planning and organizing, but is well worth the effort.
In PLB online courses, teachers learn strategies they can put right to use when working with students. In fact, the most common feedback we receive from teachers is that it builds their confidence and that the best part of all of this is that teachers can renew their license in the process. So, if you haven’t done so yet- stock up on professional development and continuing education hours (buy them now at the SPECIAL 50% OFF PRICE and complete them later when you really need them). And then, tell your friends and colleagues too, they’ll THANK you for it!
