As I began my career in the world of education, I discovered that teaching was not about how smart a student was. It was about how well a student could focus and behave in class. I wanted to find a way to reach every student, even the "Challenging" ones. Too often students are labeled as difficult when they are simply misunderstood. The culprit may be Attention Deficit. Whether diagnosed or not. Attention issues affect millions, and can cause a multitude of disruptions in the learning environment. Teachers must be armed with tools to cope with and reach these students. Educators need to understand ADHD and its implications within the classroom. They must remain flexible enough to adapt teaching techniques, workload modification and discipline policies to effectively educate ADHD students. ADHD students are prime candidates for low self- esteem. Teachers must strive to make each student feel important and become a successful member of society. The ultimate objective of this research is to find the most effective techniques to teach Attention Deficit students while maintaining a cohesive teaching environment.
