Consider your classroom (choose a grade level and content area). How will you account for the existence of ADHD and Executive Functioning Disorder in the classroom for the regular activities that might occur? How can you build your classroom and instruction to be more supportive of all students, diagnosed or otherwise? Select three activities that will be part of your regular classroom activities and carefully outline how you will ensure you are providing support for your students with these needs.
Hint: One excellent support for students who struggle is the existence of instructional routines. See this short clip by master teacher, professor, author, and international speaker Dr. Anita Archer (she has many clips available on a variety of topics, and every one of them is worth watching!).
