Peer Tutoring
Peer tutoring is one of the more effective strategies for students with ADHD, because it provides many of the same supports as one-to-one instruction. It facilitates the acquisition of both academic and social skills.
Peer tutoring is most effective when training is provided to participating students (Piffner, 2011). Tutors need to be taught how to be prepared with materials needed for the session and how
to give positive and corrective feedback to their partner (Greenwood & Delquadri,
1995).
Cooperative Learning
Carefully structured cooperative learning groups in which each student is assigned a role and has clear expectations for desired outcomes are very helpful for students with ADHD. The more structured the cooperative activity, the more likely it is that these students will succeed.
Sharing Strategies
Think, Pair, Share/Square Share/Group Share: Using this
approach, students work with peer partners to discuss the lesson, check each other’s
work, and share strategies.
