Tips for High School Teachers with ADHD Students: Setting Up Your Room
Thank you to all of our professional educators who dedicate themselves to our children! We know how difficult it can be working with ADHD children, so here are your teacher tips for the week, brought to you by the ADHD Information Library and ADDinSchool.com. This is a sampling of over 500 classroom interventions for your use at http://www.ADDinSchool.com.
Here are some tips on setting up your room for ADHD students. Remember, the best interventions are the ones that will help all of your students be more successful, not just the ADHD students.
With your ADD or ADHD students it is usually better to use of rows in your seating arrangement and to avoid groups of students. Often the groups are too distracting for the ADHD student. In the ideal setting, provide tables for limited and specific group projects, and traditional rows for independent work.
Here is an idea to consider: Some teachers have suggested arranging desks in a horseshoe shape to promote appropriate discussion while permitting independent work.
Teachers must be able to move about the entire room and to have access to all students. Practice "Management By Walking Around" in your classroom. Make eye contact with your students, especially those with ADD ADHD.
Have your ADD ADHD students seated nearest to place in the class where you will give directions or lectures. Seat them as close as possible without being punitive to them. Do not seat ADD ADHD students in the back of the classroom.
To minimize distractions, seat attention deficit students away from both the hallway and windows.
Stand near attention deficit students when giving directions or presenting the lesson. Use the ADD or ADHD student's worksheet as an example. Make sure that the attention deficit students know what's going on around them.
As best as you can, provide comfortable lighting and room temperatures.
Hopefully these will help the ADHD students in your classroom to be more successful. You can learn more about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder at the ADHD Information Library.
