Identify the key areas of functional impairment, symptom presentation, and diagnostic decision-making for youth with ADHD. 2.

Apply effective parenting and teaching strategies for supporting youth with ADHD in the home, classroom, and neighborhood.

By the end of this project, you will have created a parent survey that you can send to your students’ parents at the end of each school year. Continued professional development is important to be the most effective and current teacher you can be. But we do not often receive the feedback we need to keep our growth going. Through this project, you will be ready to gain valuable feedback from parents, allowing you to discern areas of strength and growth for your future teaching. Using these same skills, you can go on from this project to create surveys to use with your students - especially for those in middle and high school - in order to start the year strong or gain insight for future growth. Feedback can also become a part of your professional portfolio. What better data than feedback from your classroom community?
