AS A TEACHER HOW WILL YOU DEAL WITH THOSE WITH ADHD DISORDER OR ANY HYPERACTIVE AND TO THOSE WHO ARE GIFTED?

GIVE EXAMPLES TECHNIQUES STRATEGIES

I think that's a classic problem with education. When I was a kid, the grades were split into classes for the brighter kids, the regular kids, and the kids who had a more difficult time with schoolwork. It seems to me that that would be better than dumbing down kids and expecting others to do what they might not be able to while appeasing the masses.

Well, if a child who has ADHD and is not on medication, I suggest you contact their parents right away and ask them to get some prescribed. It really helps the child focus. Often times the bring the pills to school and take it mid-day. Those children often have trouble in schoolwork, and that should do the trick. But, when in the same classroom with children who have no problem focusing, and are brilliant, is a challenge. How old are the children? If they are elementary kids, I reccomend the following:

If the children who are gifted need more of a challenge, just pass them out a worksheet of a bit more challenging math problems (or, if you are also teaching English, maybe more complex versions) and only mention to them that its different (if they are old enough to trust, tell them not to tell anyone because it might hurt their feelings). Make sure not to tell them that is because they are smarter, it's just because they are learning at a faster pace. Give the more challenged children the same worksheets as the moderateatly challenged children. Make it so only a few people are working on different worksheets. If this is too challenging for the children with ADHD, suggest a tutor.

I hope I helped and best of luck.

I would allow the children who have ADHD and hyperactivity disorders to take breaks after a specified amount of time or to do a preferred activity after completing a certain amount of work. I would start small and provide reinforcement for on task behavior. You should also systematically increase the amount of time the student is required to remain on task before receiving access the the break or preferred activity. Before you start any of this you should determine how long the student is able to stay on task so that you can determine an appropriate interval (the interval should be slightly shorter than the current duration they are able to be remain on task). This is to ensure the child is successful.

For the gifted students you could start a club where the kids meet once a month to share their projects. Maybe those kids can pick their own projects that to expand on the topics you were presenting in class.

Good Luck!

I'm a teacher and only deal with adults. But, I can say that if I suspect that one of my students has ADHD, I can offer them some help since I have read extensively regarding what helps those with ADHD.

Gifted students usually placed in an accelerated group, will get more advanced assignments. I don't want them to be bored.

I group my students according to ability, which helps them in many ways. During class discussions, everyone participates. Individual work is judged as such and I take a great deal into consideration.

Basically, I take the needs of ALL of my students into consideration. It as made my classroom a successful learning ground and I have happy students.

My brothers have ADHD. They are energetic. Some people, I've heard, let the hyperactive and ADHD children have a short recess in the gym and run around to burn off the extra energy. Have extra patience. They aren't any different and deserve repect.

As for "gifted" children, i'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean the mentally challenged or the smart ones?
Doesn't the school have a program for kids like that?

Kids on medication aren't disruptive at all, and act/seem no different than any other child. The trick is finding a medication that allows them to focus without changing them into a zombie. I taught one child who was so unruly (humming, singing, dancing around, just goofing off Loudly) without medication, but on medication he would be able to concentrate and sit still long enough to do his work and get really good grades. If he forgot, I'd ask him to try to remember to take the medication the next day, and just realize that day wouldn't be very productive for anyone at all.

Some parents won't want their child on medication and then you just have to encourage the child to be quiet, still enough to listen so they can do their work, not disrupt others. And sometimes a change of scenery, or something mobile will help the movers. Other kids sit quietly no matter what, but their minds are running a mile a minute and they have a hard time to focus. Some people use timers, or give them one or two steps at a time or have reminders or instructions taped to their desk.

I have adhd and learning problems.
I tell my teachers and they seem to ignore it.
Specially my math teacher!
I would advise you to try and get a tutor for the student or put them in special classes, and/or studding classes after school.
Thats what i would want (:

ADHD is a very case by case basis. You have to figure out what works for each child. For the one in my class, a timer is what does it...its amazing.

But I suggest you do your own homework.

make sure that when you teach you incorporate physical aspects with your teaching. like if you are teaching life science take the class out to the field or something else to engage the adhd child.

As a kid with ADHD i found a rewards and punishments system good when I was in elementary school. My teacher also put me close to her spot where she preformed lectures.

I won't at all.. I put up with their annoyances and stupidity.. take my paycheck and head to retirement...

I don't care about the losers... only the winners.

I don't believe in ADHD or the like. They get treated just like anyone else. We have far too much attention paid to all kinds of people who want to be treated specially.

LOL I LOVE THE FIRST TWO ANSWERERS

MAYBE YOU SHOULD LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND STOP TYPING IN ALL CAPS

NO WONDER THE KIDS DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO YOU! YOU'RE AN IDIOT!

I worked over the summer with kids with Autism, ADHD, ADD and so on. I loved working with them. The ones with autism, you want to keep them calm. One of my students would not sit still. So we made him sit on a "special" pillow and he would sit still. ADHD, they like to be the attention getters. Make sure you keep them calm as well. Try to make deals. If you do this.. you will get this. Don't be afraid to give them time outs. They WILL make a fuss, but it will work if you make them want something. They are learning impaired so you need to be gentle with them. They don't perpously act like they do, they can't help it. Just take some time and make them want something such as a little toy or play time so they will work hard.

Hope this helped!

I WILL DEAL WITH THOSE WHO USE CAPSLOCK WITH A SWIFT KICK TO THE HEAD.

I'm a gifted kid, and my advice is: GIVE US SOMETHING INTERESTING TO DO AND STOP WRITING IN ALL CAPS.

i'd treat them with equal respect as anyone else. If they're total asses though, i'd slap them >:)
