Thank you to all of our professional educators who dedicate themselves to our children! We know how difficult it can be working with ADHD children, so here are your teacher tips for the week, brought to you by the ADHD Information Library and ADDinSchool.com. This is a sampling of over 500 classroom interventions for your use at http://www.ADDinSchool.com.
Here are some tips on presenting your lesson ADHD students. Remember, the best interventions are the ones that will help all of your students be more successful, not just the ADHD students.
Try to provide an outline with the key concepts or vocabulary prior to lesson presentation. The students can follow along and see the main concepts and terms as you present the lesson.
ADHD kids are easily bored, even by you. Try to increase the pace of lesson presentation. Resist the temptation to get sidetracked. Get excited about your lesson! And communicate your excitement to your students!
Include a variety of learning activities during each lesson. Use multi-sensory presentations, but screen audio?visual aids to be sure that distractions are kept to a minimum. For example, be sure interesting pictures and or sounds relate directly to the material to be learned. Many teachers are now using PowerPoint presentations or Astound presentations for their students with great effect.
Provide self-correcting materials for immediate feedback to the ADD ADHD student.
Use computer assisted instruction, both in terms of the student at a computer, and also in terms of presenting information via PowerPoint presentations.
Use cooperative learning activities, particularly those that assign each teen in a group a specific role or piece of information that must be shared with the group. Pair students to check work. Provide peer tutoring to help ADD ADHD student’s review concepts.
Let ADD ADHD students share recently learned concepts with struggling peers. Use peer tutoring whenever possible. Older students to help your attention deficit students, and perhaps allowing him to tutor a younger student.
The more exciting a subject is to an ADD ADHD students, the better he will learn.
Hopefully these will help the ADHD students in your classroom to be more successful. You can learn more about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder at the ADHD Information Library.
Tips for High School Teachers with ADHD Students: Presenting Your Lesson
Only Brave Negotiators End Up Being Successful
In order to be successful during a negotiation, what skills are really required? One skill that is all too often overlooked in my opinion is bravery. I like to define bravery as the willingness to try something that just might fail. If you are willing to take this leap of faith, sometime you can rescue a negotiation that seemed like it was doomed to failure. Just exactly how a negotiator can become brave is something that I believe that we need to talk about…
It’s Time To Take Risks
As a negotiator, you need to set goals for each negotiation that you enter into. There are many different types of goals that you can set, but the best ones are those that are so called “stretch goals” – just a little bit out of your reach. Doing this can be quite scary for a negotiator.
By setting challenging goals for yourself, you must know that you are now running the risk of having your negotiation end up in a deadlock. Yes, I’m not going to tell you that this is not a real risk. However, I can assure you that the research that has been done on negotiations has shown that negotiators who are willing to set their goals higher almost always end up doing better.
Being Brave Means Being Willing To Spend Time
Although it often does not cost you anything to participate in a negotiation, there is a currency at play here. That currency is called time. In any negotiation, time is money and the more time that you spend on a negotiation, the more expensive that negotiation is going to be.
What you need to do is to make sure that you make enough of an investment into each negotiation that you participate in. Take the time to learn about the countermeasures that the other side will use, the negotiation styles and negotiating techniques that they will use, and their time limits. By doing this you’ll end up having a better grasp of their willingness to concede or compromise.
What All Of This Means For You
As negotiators, we all want the same thing out of our next principled negotiation: we want to reach a deal with the other side of the table that we can live with. In order to make that happen, more often than not we need to show some bravery during the negotiation. Knowing how to do this can be the secret to our success.
One simple way to boost our bravery during our next negotiation is to set our negotiation targets higher. These stretch goals do run the risk of creating a deadlock, but the payoff can make it all worthwhile. Another way to boost our bravery is to make sure that we spend the time that is required to reach a successful outcome. Finding out what motivates the other side of the table is the key to our being able to reach a successful deal.
Using these two techniques can boost our probability of success in our next negotiation. Take the time to study how you can apply them to your way of negotiation and you’ll be surprised at how successful you can become!
Presentation Folders Can Be Used For a Variety of Purposes
We have developed many categories of folders for our daily uses. We utilize them in our schools, offices, businesses, universities, record rooms, hospitals, libraries and at many other places. They have helped us a lot in managing our documents in an easy and effective manner. One of the most widely used categories of folders is called the custom presentation folder.
The uses of a presentation folder are huge. They can be used for document management. They are of particular use for handling documents during the business activities, like a meeting, conference and seminar. They are specially designed to help in this kind of a task. They have pockets or slits on the inside of their covers to carry these documents.
In business setup, the documents are used according to their sizes. They may be in A4 size, legal size or letter size. There are other sizes as well. There are also folders corresponding to the respective documents designs. For example, we can easily find A4 presentation folders in any office. They help in managing the heaps of important letters, applications, sales reports, presentations and many other documents.
The customers can get their favorite presentation folders in any way they want. They can normally make changes to their products in a way so that they could get the product to respond to their needs positively. From colors to shapes, from concept to contents, and from printing material to print quality, all can be customized according to the customers’ wishes. It also provides an environment of competition in the market.
The use of high quality tools and technologies is a must for top class printing products. Full color CMYK printing process is one of the technologies that help in this regard. It helps in producing cheap presentation folders for the customers as it is a commercially viable option.
