ArticleBehavior 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

ArticleCreation 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

ArticleSoundtrack 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

ArticleTechnological 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

PostChildren with ADHD require specific and frequent feedback and/or reinforcement immediately following the demonstration of desired behaviors. When students are learning new behaviors, it is generally important to reinforce close approximations first as a way to shape behavior. Once a behavior is established, the frequency of reinforcement can be gradually decreased. Students with ADHD tend to quickly lose interest with repetition, so a variety of easy-to-implement reinforcers should be considered.By: Scarlet Patrick ErinsonThursday, May 27, 2021CULTURE AND SOCIETY+2
