Q: “How Can I Better Communicate with Students and Families of Color?”

Q: “As a white educator, how can I better communicate and connect with families of color, especially when a student is exhibiting learning and behavioral challenges that I suspect may be due to ADHD, a learning difference, or another undiagnosed condition? I understand that due to systemic racism and historical wrongs, Black families and families from marginalized groups have a lot of reasons not to trust me initially. They’re justified in their concerns that I may be biased.”Without realizing it, some teachers harbor biases or believe stereotypes about minority students that affect their behavior. It’s wise for educators to weigh racial and cultural considerations before approaching a family about their student’s ADHD-related learning or behavioral struggles.

The Trauma of Active Shooter Drills

Donna Provencher of Texas was shocked when her eight-year-old son, who was diagnosed with ADHD, a clinical anxiety disorder, and an adjustment disorder, recently asked her: “Do you remember when that school shooter came to my school, like at Uvalde? We had to get on the ground. They told us we were in danger and that someone could come in the room and hurt us.”Provencher was puzzled. There hadn’t been a shooting at her son’s school.

5 Creative Memorization Techniques Using Smell, Exercise, Color

ADHD impairs working memory, the important executive function that allows us to store information for later recall. Students rely heavily on working memory when taking exams, completing homework, and contributing in class. They call on long-term memory as they build on their knowledge and move on to the next grade level.When impairments impede learning, I suggest these novel memorization techniques:1.

“We Are Behind the Times:” Only 4 in 10 Educators Receive ADHD Training

Most educators have received no formal training for teaching students with ADHD and its comorbid conditions.Though 100% of the teachers, tutors, counselors, and administrators surveyed recently by ADDitude said they serve at least one student with ADHD and/or autism, only 40% said they have undergone specialized training in these conditions. The same goes for auditory processing issues, dyslexia, and/or dysgraphia, which 70% of educators said impact their students.Nine out of ten educators said they taught themselves about ADHD, using books, magazines (many named this one!), and websites for research.

Inadequate Teacher Training Stifles Students with ADHD

If the best scientists in the world were asked to create an environment that would be the most challenging for a student with ADHD, they’d be hard-pressed to devise anything worse than a contemporary elementary school classroom: six-hour days filled with expectations of sitting still, following endless instructions, completing tedious tasks, and navigating challenging social situations on playgrounds, in cafeterias, or on the bus during times of little adult monitoring. Indeed, the only setting that might exacerbate ADHD symptoms more would be a middle or high school where behavioral expectations are spread across multiple teachers, organizational and time-management demands become the responsibility of the student, and assignments have short- and long-term deadlines that require routine monitoring.It is, therefore, not surprising that the long-term academic outcomes for students with ADHD are strikingly poor.
