ADD in the Classroom, a teachers perspective

I was extremely excited when a teacher collegue of mine introduced me to this book. I have had many ADD and ADHD children in my class and have always struggled with them. I read this book with much enthusiasm looking for help all the way. I realized that my behavior towards these children was hindering them from growing, I have learned I need to be a better communicator with the parents and child about my expectation and set up a program that will help the child to meet our goals. Most importantly I have learned I need to be CALM with these children and model the behavior I expect from them. I have learned so much from this book. I look forward to trying these techniques in my classroom next year.First Grade Teacher Brookvale El. School, Fremont, California
