  Case: Students with ADHD
What are some classroom management strategies that can be used for students with ADHD? How should you deal with students who have outbursts in the classroom and are distracting other students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One student that I am working with has ADHD and responds very well to positive reinforcement and a reward system. The student has a behavior chart that I fill out for every class period, including both positive and negative behaviors. I record these behaviors and write specific situations down on the chart for his parents to review every night. At the end of each class period, if the student has earned enough positive behavior points (7 in this case), the student is allowed one piece of candy. Although it may seem that candy/sugar will cause the student to become more off task, this reward is very motivating for him and causes him to engage in positive behaviors more often than not.
