In this weekly check-in class teens will have the opportunity to check in with other distance learners with ADHD and other learning differences. They will practice accountability by sharing about their week of online learning, planning for the weekend, and setting goals for the coming week. This is an opportunity for students to connect with other at home learners and receive support from a credentialed teacher who also has ADHD. The experiences shared by the students will be used to develop mini-lessons on executive function and organization that will be taught during the last 10 minutes of class if time allows. Mini Lessons might cover topics such as: creating an optimal work environment, using a timer to create focused work times, organizing your email inbox, ensuring that assignments get turned in, etc. ADHD and Distance Learning For Teens: How to Learn from Home is recommended but not required for this course.
Learning Goals
Students will receive drop-in support with executive function and organization. Improved study and organizational skills will lead to better success at school.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Since this is a study skills class for kids with ADHD topics such as IEPs and ADHD medication may come up. As a teacher I do not diagnose nor recommend a particular medical choice. I acknowledge that families have many ways of supporting their students in terms of academics and health, and try to affirm families individual choices.
