Behavior Management Strategies and ADHD studentsThe 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.By: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreThursday, May 27, 2021HEALTH AND NUTRITION+1

Creation StudioDescription 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.By: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreThursday, May 27, 2021AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS+6

Soundtrack of Your LifeCreate a playlist of songs that really represent your life. These can be songs that have resonated with you throughout the different phases of your life, songs that either remind you of or specifically speak to things you've been through, songs that you have loved throughout your life, and so on. You can then decide whether you want the songs to be mixed around or in chronological order. This kind of playlist can also be a great way to give your listeners a glimpse into your lifeBy: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreThursday, May 27, 2021AGRI-FOOD SYSTEMS+2

Technological advancements.Technologies. People often ask, what exactly do you mean by “breakthrough”? It’s a reasonable question—some of our picks haven’t yet reached widespread use, while others may be on the cusp of becoming commercially available. What we’re really looking for is a technology, or perhaps even a collection of technologies, that will have a profound effect on our lives. For this year, a new technique in artificial intelligence called GANs is giving machines imagination; artificial embryos, despite some thorny ethical constraints, are redefining how life can be created and are opening a research window into the early moments of a human life; and a pilot plant in the heart of Texas’s petrochemical industry is attempting to create completely clean power from natural gas—probably a major energy source for the foreseeable future. These and the rest of our list will be worth keeping an eye onBy: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreThursday, May 27, 2021CULTURE AND SOCIETY+1

ADHD Students and Classroom ConsiderationsThe 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.By: Scarlet Patrick ErinsonThursday, May 27, 2021CULTURE AND SOCIETY+2
