Classroom behavior management is a collaborative effort between teachers and students to achieve a productive learning environment. It involves setting rules, having structured plans, and other methods that encourage positive behavior and address challenges. For students with ADHD, behavior management may require additional support.
The Classroom Behavior Management Tips For ADHD handout provides teachers with engaging and easy-to-implement ideas to effectively support their students. The tips are presented through the POWER MOVES acronym, with tips tailored to their needs and accompanied by examples. Moreover, the handout includes a quick tip on how to help students smoothly transition between tasks.
Through this handout, teachers can create an environment where kids and teens with ADHD are given the chance to excel. Once teachers implement the recommended strategies, students can reflect on their actions and note their progress using a journal.
