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 include establishing 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 student with 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. In creating peer-mediated activities, the teacher may need to choose students whose skill levels complement each other. Students with and without attention difficulties and impulsivity should be considered for peer partnerships.
