I need some good suggests about one of my drafting students. He has ADHD. He is very intelligent and gifted in the area of drafting. The problem is that he finishes his assignment long before the other students. H will walks around the room distrusting the other students. I did suggested to him that he could help the other students, but he gets upset when the other students don’t understand the assignment quickly. Do you have any other suggests that could help this students.
Re: Help with a student with ADHD
sounds like you need to challenge him more. Is the work he is producing of high quality? If so, increase the complexity of it otherwise this behavior will continue.
Re: Help with a student with ADHD
Is this drafting like in Computer Aided Disign? Or drafting like with t-square and triangle?
Re: Help with a student with ADHD
Why not give him other projects to do? Gifted students need the curriculum to recognize their giftedness.
Can he be placed on a sort of independent study? If he is gifted and the work is not challenging him, perhaps you could give him some “extra work” or perhaps he can work on a ‘special project’. Are there any drafting type competitions that he could enter and work on… just a few ideas. Good luck.
