Classroom Culture
Critical Components of Classroom Culture
Skilled educators accept responsibility for planning and delivering instruction that brings the five critical components described below to life for all learners.
At times, external factors beyond the classroom walls will affect an educator’s ability to sustain all five critical components. Skilled educators find ways wherever possible to ensure that these five critical components are present in all aspects of classroom culture.
Critical Component #1: Honoring Student Experience
When asking students to explore issues of personal and social identity, teachers must provide safe spaces in which students are seen, valued, cared for, and respected. It is also important that students have opportunities to learn from one another’s varied experiences and perspectives. To create this learning environment, teachers need to skillfully draw on student experiences to enrich the curriculum.

ADHD Students and Classroom
Factors that foster attention, positive behavior, and academic and social success include
establishing positive relationships with students, adopting classroom management techniques,
and creating a physical arrangement that facilitates learning.
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.
When using a proactive approach to classroom management, teachers support all students and
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

ADHD and School interventions
School interventions should include a team approach across multiple settings, consisting of both
preventive and intervention strategies.
Interventions must be based upon assessment data that includes information about the student’s strengths and needs as well as the environmental conditions in which her characteristics of ADHD occur.
Progress monitoring and strategy adjustments are critical to the success of any intervention plan (Wolraich & DuPaul, 2010).
The first step in creating classroom supports for students with ADHD is understanding the
students’ strengths and needs. This involves formal and informal assessment, as well as
collaboration among educational professionals and the students’ families.
If a student is not responsive to behavioral strategies and interventions, more intensive interventions, such as functional behavior assessment and behavior intervention plans, should be considered (see Practical FBA).
No one intervention is universally effective for all students with ADHD. A combination of research-based and promising practices is recommended.
Here are several of these practices:

Culture of Collaboration
Number of Directions: Give a minimal number of directions or steps at a time.If necessary, have students repeat the directions to the teacher or a peer partner.
Form of Directions: Provide written directions or steps, or a visual model of acompleted project. Teach students how to refer to these items as reminders ofprocess steps to complete tasks. This strategy is particularly helpful for long-termprojects.
Written AssignmentsMany students with ADHD have particular challenges with written work due to finemotorskills difficulties, motor planning issues, and difficulty alternating their attentionfrom a book to their written responses.
Students with ADHD may also need assistance breaking a larger task or project into smaller, more workable units.
The following strategies can be used to address these needs.
Deconstructing Tasks: Break tasks into smaller units.o Limit amount of work per page.o Cover up part of the work on a page.o Allow extra time for completing tasks.o Provide work breaks.o Allow student to use a computer to type or to use speech-to-text software.o Reduce the length of written assignments.

Social and Emotional Safety
Creating a safe climate takes time and work. These are some of the most important components:
Active teaching of social-emotional skills
Attention to creating positive relationships
Bullying prevention and intervention
Community building
Explicit focus on understanding and appreciating differences
Meaningful conflict resolution
Teaching students to challenge bias and exclusion
Critical Component #5: Values-Based Classroom Management
Classroom management is central to classroom culture. Classroom management systems must support safe, inclusive communities by promoting high standards for respectful interaction; incorporating student-generated classroom norms; teaching conflict resolution; and actively addressing all instances of bias, bullying, exclusion, or disrespect.
Disciplinary incidents must transition from punishment to opportunities for growth, restitution, and community building. For community respect to be a core classroom value, students should not be cast out of the group but rather given the support needed to be positive, contributing members of their classroom community.
Finally, classroom management practices must reflect fairness, equity, and cultural awareness.

Visual and Environmental Prompts:
Use behavioral and environmental prompts to increase desired classroom behaviors. For example, pictorial prompts of students attending in class serve as a reminder of the teacher’s expectations for learning and behavior. Electronic visual aids such as interactive whiteboards and document cameras are helpful for capturing the attention of students with ADHD (Piffner, 2011).
https://www.cliffsnotes.com/study-guides/principles-of-management/the-evolution-of-management-thought/behavioral-management-theory
Additionally, the use of tablets and computers may engage students more fully in learning activities.
Priming Procedure: Prime the student before an assignment or lesson byreviewing a list of student-identified privileges or reinforcements that can beearned following a specified work period.
Proximity Control: Teacher proximity is highly effective for helping studentswith ADHD maintain attention. For example, the teacher may move closer to thestudent when giving directions and monitoring seatwork.
Timers: Set a timer to indicate how much time remains in the lesson or workperiod. The timer should be clearly visible so students can check remaining timeand monitor their progress.
Wristwatch or Smartphone: Teach the student to use a wristwatch orsmartphone to manage time when completing assigned work. Many watches andsmartphones have built-in timers that can be programmed to beep at set intervals.
Music: Play different levels and tempos of music to help students understand theactivity level appropriate for particular lessons. For example, using quiet classicalmusic for individual learning activities helps block distractions and creates a calmclassroom environment (U.S. Department of Education, 2006).
Children with ADHD require specific and frequent feedback and/or reinforcementimmediately following the demonstration of desired behaviors. When students arelearning new behaviors, it is generally important to reinforce close approximations firstas a way to shape behavior. Once a behavior is established, the frequency ofreinforcement can be gradually decreased. Students with ADHD tend to quickly loseinterest with repetition, so a variety of easy-to-implement reinforcers should beconsidered.Praise, Praise, Praise: Attentiveness and appropriate classroom behavior areprerequisites for learning; therefore, interventions that promote these behaviorsshould be an integral part of the teaching process for all students. When teachersare attentive to positive behavior and specifically praise students for thesebehaviors, they can engage students before their attention drifts while highlightingdesired behavior (U.S. Department of Education, 2006).

Collaborative Discussion
Introduction:
The educator
prepares students for discussion, establishes an environment that welcomes thought, scaffolds discussion where needed, monitors participation, and consolidates thinking.
Collaborative discussion is one of the most effective tools to deepen students’ understanding and engagement with texts. Discussion offers students the opportunity to build arguments and defend them with evidence, consider opposing points of view, elaborate ideas, and build complex webs of knowledge by revealing and furthering thinking. Unfortunately, the amount of time devoted to classroom discussion is measurable in seconds per day (Nystrand 2006), and when discussion does occur, the quality and depth of students’ discourse is often limited (Zwiers & Crawford, 2011).
Though discussion is often considered a student-centric activity, reaping the benefits of discussion requires educators to play an active role in preparing students, creating an environment that welcomes thought, scaffolding discussion when needed, monitoring participation, and consolidating thinking.

Evaluations
Identify a student with a disability in your classroom. Specifically, identify a student that has difficulty accessing information or instructions or demonstrating knowledge within the same timeframe as other students. For example, the student might have difficulty staying focused on classwork and, therefore, does not complete work on time. To protect the privacy of your student, please use a first name only, or else use an alias.
Describe the student you selected, making sure to include:
Basic details about the student, including age, gender, first language, etc.
A description of the student's disability category and the barrier that interferes with the student’s ability to access or demonstrate learning
At least three of the student’s strengths
What the student is having difficulty with (e.g., completing a task on time)
