  • Organizational Supports for ADHD Students
    Primer text from the College of William & Mary.https://education.wm.edu/centers/ttac/documents/packets/adhd.pdf Many students with ADHD have significant difficulties with organization.    They are more likely to respond positively when teachers establish class routines and set procedures and maintain a well-organized learning environment.    Clear rules and advanced planning are keys to success for teachers of students with ADHD. The following organizational supports are particularly useful. Students should be taught to use these tools through teacher modeling and guided practice with feedback before being expected to use them more independently. Assignment Notebook: Provide the student with an assignment notebook to helporganize homework and seatwork.Color-Coded Folders: Provide the student with color-coded folders to helporganize assignments for different academic subjects.

  • ADHD and School interventions
    School interventions should include a team approach across multiple settings, consisting of bothpreventive and intervention strategies.    Interventions must be based upon assessment data that includes information about the student’s strengths and needs as well as the environmental conditions in which her characteristics of ADHD occur.    Progress monitoring and strategy adjustments are critical to the success of any intervention plan (Wolraich & DuPaul, 2010).   The first step in creating classroom supports for students with ADHD is understanding thestudents’ strengths and needs. This involves formal and informal assessment, as well ascollaboration among educational professionals and the students’ families.

  • Poor Listening Skills
    Do you zone out during long business meetings? Did your husband forget to pick up your child at baseball practice, even though you called to remind him on his way home? Problems with attention result in poor listening skills in many adults with ADHD, leading to a lot of missed appointments and misunderstandings.

  • Behavior Management Strategies and ADHD students
    The goal of behavior management strategies is to help students learn to manage their ownbehavior. The following strategies are most effective when used in conjunction with evidence based instructional strategies. Prevention StrategiesHere are some preventive measures that support students in demonstrating positivebehavior. Nonverbal Supports: Together with the student, develop inconspicuous,nonverbal messages such as eye contact, hand gestures, or other signals that teachstudents to recognize the conditions that trigger specific behaviors. Once thesystem is developed, students can learn to manage their behavioral responsesbefore they occur.    For example, creating a signal and routine for “taking a five minutebreak” at a specified classroom location provides an opportunity for thestudent to recognize when he is becoming restless or frustrated and preventsbehavior from escalating. This system is most effective if used before thebehavior escalates or intensifies. Choice as Reward: Choice in and of itself appears to be highly reinforcing.Provide choices of activities between assignments or embed choices withinassignments (e.g., choice of materials, readings, response modes, peer partners).Choices also provide students practice in decision making.

  • Creation Studio
    Description is the pattern of narrative development that aims to make vivid a place, object, character, or group. Description is one of four rhetorical modes, along with exposition, argumentation, and narration. In practice it would be difficult to write literature that drew on just one of the four basic modes.

  • ADHD Students and Classroom Considerations
    The culture of the classroom can either support or create barriers to student success (Piffner,2011).    Factors that foster attention, positive behavior, and academic and social success includeestablishing positive relationships with students, adopting classroom management techniques,and creating a physical arrangement that facilitates learning. It is often a positive relationship with one teacher that facilitates school success for a studentwith ADHD (Piffner, 2011).    When teachers connect with students and appreciate their unique skills and interests, students are more likely to strive for achievement and positively respond to classroom rules and procedures. When using a proactive approach to classroom management, teachers support all students andcreate conditions that prepare them for learning (Piffner, 2011).    Some strategies for positive management include clear directions, meaningful feedback, and opportunities for collaboration with peers. Here are some others.

  • Selective breeding in aquaculture
    Selective breeding in aquaculture holds high potential for the genetic improvement of fish and shellfish. Unlike terrestrial livestock, the potential benefits of selective breeding in aquaculture were not realized until recently. This is because high mortality led to the selection of only a few broodstock, causing inbreeding depression, which then forced the use of wild broodstock. This was evident in selective breeding programs for growth rate, which resulted in slow growth and high mortality.[17] Control of the reproduction cycle was one of the main reasons as it is a requisite for selective breeding programs. Artificial reproduction was not achieved because of the difficulties in hatching or feeding some farmed species such as eel and yellowtail farming.[18] A suspected reason associated with the late realisation of success in selective breeding programs in aquaculture was the education of the concerned people – researchers, advisory personnel and fish farmers. The education of fish biologists paid less attention to quantitative genetics and breeding plans.[19]

  • Introduction to Statistics, Data and Statistical Thinking
    test article : The Use of Statistics in Economics and Other Social Sciences Businesses use statistical methodology and thinking to make decisions about which products to produce, how much to spend advertising them, how to evaluate their employees, how often to service their machinery and equipment, how large their inventories should be, and nearly every aspect of running their operations. The motivation for using statistics in the study of economics and other social sciences is somewhat different.    https://youtu.be/uhxtUt_-GyM

  • Types of Environmental Ecosystems
    https://sciencing.com/types-environmental-ecosystems-8640.html Types of Environmental Ecosystems An ecosystem consists of all the living and non-living things in a specific natural setting. Plants, animals, insects, microorganisms, rocks, soil, water and sunlight are major components of many ecosystems. All types of ecosystems fall into one of two categories: terrestrial or aquatic. Terrestrial ecosystems are land-based, while aquatic are water-based. The major types of ecosystems are forests, grasslands, deserts, tundra, freshwater and marine. The word “biome” may also be used to describe terrestrial ecosystems which extend across a large geographic area, such as tundra. Keep in mind, however, that within any ecosystem, specific features vary widely – for instance, an oceanic ecosystem in the Caribbean Sea will contain vastly different species than an oceanic ecosystem in the Gulf of Alaska.
