I have a student with ADHD. She is easily distracted and gets off task. She seems to enjoy creating art and benefits from encouragement throughout a class period. When I give an assignment, I check that she has understood the directions. I ask her to describe to me what she wants to achieve in her work and what materials or resources she may need to accomplish this. This student also needs help with organization and reminders. I encourage her to place resources in 1 class folder so that it is easy to find. I sometimes provide additional resources & references, as she often forgets to come to class prepared. I find that what she needs most often is to be encouraged and reminded to stay on task. I also carefully choose to seat her near students that are enthusiastic and can be a positive influence. |

Last yearI had a student with ADHD. He was having difficulty paying attention and he was easily distracted in class. He couldn’t stay on the task more than 5-10 minutes. He wanted to talk or go to out of class with different excuses. I gave him some responsibilities to be my assistant during art class. He pass the materials, clean the board and helped me with organizing materials. It seems like getting up several times during the class helped him get more focused. |

Assessment of Learning

I currently have a student with ADHD. She struggles to understand directions & stay on task. I use project plans, practice assignments, and progress checks as ongoing assessments to ensure that she understands the objectives for visual arts projects. This helps in the process of planning as well as executing her projects. With progress checks throughout the process of completing a project, she has had success in building knowledge and skills. |

Tools And Strategies

One way I have used technology to meet the needs of a student with ADHD is to use the program "Canvas" to provide multiple resources for an assignment. Using canvas, a teacher can give an assignment to a single student. I have provided visual examples, demonstration videos, as well as a rubric for a specific assignment. This helps the student with ADHD find all the information needed in one place. The directions can be presented in written as well as a video. It is a great tool to cater to different learning styles. |
