Sunday, May 23, 2010

Hyatt Regency Reston
Reston, VA

Do you have students with AD/HD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) in your classroom? Every teacher does. Do you feel challenged to find the balance between the needs of your class and helping the student with AD/HD learn effectively? You are not alone.  Are you a parent of a child with AD/HD who is struggling in school and would like to learn about effective classroom interventions.  Then Teacher to Teacher is for you.

Join us for a day-long workshop that identifies common AD/HD related learning problems plus practical classroom techniques, interventions, and the latest research to enhance school success of students with AD/HD. Be sure to log into CHADD's website up in the right hand corner, return to this page and Click here to register. Designed for mainstream classroom teachers, Teacher to Teacher will provide best practice strategies in an interactive, hands-on format. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss solutions to common academic and behavioral problems in a "case-based" format. Each workshop is limited to 100 attendees, so don’t wait to return your registration. Each attendee will also receive the CHADD Educator’s Manual on AD/HD: An In-Depth Look from an Educational Perspective. This is "the" manual for managing students with ad/hd and a fantastic resource.
