The culture of the classroom can either support or create barriers to student success (Piffner,
2011).

Factors that foster attention, positive behavior, and academic and social success include

It is often a positive relationship with one teacher that facilitates school success for a student
with ADHD (Piffner, 2011).

When teachers connect with students and appreciate their unique skills and interests, students are more likely to strive for achievement and positively respond to classroom rules and procedures.

create conditions that prepare them for learning (Piffner, 2011).

Some strategies for positive management include clear directions, meaningful feedback, and opportunities for collaboration with peers. Here are some others.

School interventions should include a team approach across multiple settings, consisting of both
preventive and intervention strategies.

Health Insurance

As an international student, you need to have health insurance. MSU will automatically enrol you in the Blue Care Network health insurance. There are only very few circumstances in which you can waive the health insurance coverage. This insurance can be used for pretty much anything except for dental and vision care.

Dental insurance is covered through Delta Dental and can be purchased in two enrolment periods (July-October for a Fall semester start and November-February for a Spring semester start). Depending on your employment type at MSU, you probably qualify for a reduced fee (i.e. MSU will pay half of the cost of coverage).
