I provide virtual reading intervention services to a student with ADHD 4 days a week. Initially, this student never had his supplies readily available; the same supplies are used every session. We would spend up to 6 minutes finding things. He and I agreed to make a checklist to hang up next to his daily schedule of items he needs for his reading intervention sessions. We reviewed the check list before every class for the first two weeks, checking off each items as we went along. Yes, this took additional time away from his services however, he now manages his materials independently!

Its Five Simply explained steps, but difficult to use successfully, every time.

2. Get Your Mind Right
3. Step UP
4. Adjust and Adapt
5. Build Skill

We utilized this a few years ago at Harford Tech. I absolutely love this philosophy, use it with my kids, and in my own life.

Considering Casel's goal of "...Recognizing how critical thinking skills are useful both inside and outside of school..." students in technology classes - ATA, ADA, and FOT built a Self Propelled Vehicle at home. Students struggled, got frustrated, adjusted, innovated, and learned quite a lot!  We used the Engineering Design Process for the build.

The critical thinking skills here helped students recognize the importance of those skills.  And they had fun!??

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey is a book that I have previously incorporated into my classroom during a curriculum extension period. The students learn about each habit in hopes that they will begin to incorporate the habits throughout their everyday lives. Habit 3 focuses on "putting first things first" which relates to responsible decision-making.

It is hard to not incorporate different cultures into a history classroom. I make sure that all students feel like they can talk about their experiences and backgrounds as we talk about various cultures around the world both past and present. As we are reading primary sources we also look at prejudices and biases and how that affects the way we look at people (both past and present)

I have students share jokes at the beginning of classes on certain days.  I also dress as superhero characters and they talk about the character that I am dressed as. A few kids really like the music from the movie or really like the character and some dress up and we bond over characters we like.

Students had the opportunity to conduct career research on their chosen type of engineer. Students learned about thier own self exploration into what it is that they like, dislike, or want to do with their lives. Many never want to be engineers!!! Hahaha.

Students have the opportunity to survey the class on a frequent basis. I ask them if my teaching style works for them, what programs do/don't work, and what they need to be more successful.

Before engaging in whole-class formal discussions, I take time to discuss which behaviors in a classroom roundtable are contributory and which have the potential to undermine a conversation.
