Focusing
on Success:
Teaching
Students with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder grades 1-12
This is a teacher’s resource
published by the Alberta Learning and
Teaching Resources Branch. This resource provides a wide variety of supportive
strategies to implement in the classroom with students with ADHD. This resource
also provides information on how to choose adequate instructional strategies
and help build connections and create hope for that child with ADHD. Each
chapter is eloquently developed, providing a wide range of samples, including
rubrics that could be universally integrated into the classroom and a sample of
an IPP (Individualized Program Plan). This
resource intentionally prepared for teachers can serve as a useful guideline to
be used in the classroom.

THE BOOK OF POOH
This Winnie the Pooh video clip is an excellent example for both teachers and children, demonstrating the tendency to jump to conclusions and try and "fix" the problem directly (medical model), as seen in Rabbit's frustration towards Tigger. Rather than trying to "fix" the
problem, we should accept others' exceptionalities and find ways to work with their traits.
