I have a few ideas...
1. Building the routine of discussion is helpful. We use Morning Meeting as a chance to share with the class.

2.We practice throughout the day with fun questions that’s in a turn and talk. It makes it easier to set the expectation for sharing as you can teach routines with it (full body turn to your partner, look at who is speaking, take turns, silently turn back to me when done). Sometimes, I will call on kids to tell me what their partner said in a turn and talk. I tell them that I’m going to do that before I ask the question so they know to listen.

3. For content I use whole brain teaching and have the kids mirror what I say then turn and tell their neighbor what we just did when we were mirrors. There’s tons online!

I will research that more. Thank you so much!

From your comments it seems they like to talk to each other more than the whole group. Foster this. Pair or small group them, give them talking sentence starters and have them talk among themselves as you walk the room just listening. Then as a whole group ask if any group would like to share what the group said. This allows the kids who are shy about sharing ideas to "share" someone else's ideas.

Hey that is a tough one. You may already be trying a lot of these but some ideas: build in a lot of partner turn and talks (keep them short) - it will allow them to talk on topic and then warms them up to share an answer whole class. I also like “warm calling” where you prep the student beforehand, and maybe you can move to popsicle sticks for true random calling. Good luck!

Thank you. Funny my class loves when I use the popsicle sticks. I’ll keep trying these and reteach/reinforce expectations for this. Thank you!

Listen to what they are discussing and find a way to embed it into your instructional roadmap (during formative assessment). One of the things I’ve done is use catching the Chatty Kathy’s gossiping during instructional time to teach character traits, story elements and point of view ! Worked like a charm🤣.

Happy Friday. Just a reminder of a few things:

- ADHD is a disability, but it’s not the end of the world
- give yourself a break. Your brain needs it more than you realize
- medication is not a cure-all treatment. Medication + diet + exercise + self-organization is the key.
- ADHD causes us to feel emotions stronger than the average person.
- failure is inevitable, but so is success. Act accordingly, and be kind and fair to yourself

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk? I move around as a tutor and am currently working with a school that has a ridiculously strict formal address policy.

We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.
