Start of my career

Yeah, why
          Marry me?       not




I mean it was a beautiful
          place
I was not always focused
        on work
Students were students
Some were annoying and
      energetic

Off to Saudi Arabia
Students were much better
Still distracted students
But of course they were just
Lazy

Did not try hard

Did not want to do well

Needed discipline

Just needed to get motivated
Then one day...

                  Yeah
                  sure
    Mr. Boll I     kid
   think you
   have ADD
It did cause me to think back to
      when I was younger
                         Michael you
                    need to try harder and
                   get motivated. You don’t
                   want people to think you
                           are lazy.

             Yes
             dad
And then somebody
out there thought I
      needed
A new perspective
Realization: Not all kids
       are typical
Was I wrong about my distracted
          students?
  Lazy

  Do not try hard

  Do not want to do well

  Need discipline

  Just need to get motivated
Paradigm shift?


All students want
    to do well!
All kids want to do well
All kids want to do well

They need a clear pathway

Response to intervention
     (RTI) model
Six steps to success
Step one: systems for organization
Reminder: distracted kids are
often very bright


 Yet struggle to remember
 specific details or ideas

 Often their short-term
 memory is limited
School: the planner becomes your
      memory--traditional

Keep systems simple

Three systems or less is
best

Warning: distracted
kids will orient toward
complex systems. They
are so interesting!
Step two: limit distractions

The cookie theory
Paper is the enemy
Binders can be a disaster
Desktops are a catastrophe
Backpacks are a calamity
Lockers are a tragedy
Schedule weekly paper
       checks
Computers are fill in the
      blank...
Serious competition for
       attention
Unplug
Step three: increase focus levels
Create opportunities to
     hyper-focus
Work in timed chunks
        Computer
        Traditional
Music and podcasts
Step four: build a support team
Cheerleaders


Teachers

Parents

Friends

Coaches

Aunt, uncle, etc
Step five: motivation
It is a building process


Not a quick fix

Takes days, months years

Results can last a lifetime
Negotiation vs. demand
Get buy in from him/her

Students want to do well
right?

You can usually lead them
down the path to buy in to
the ideas.
Step six: keeping you motivated
Response to intervention




 Is it working?   Is it not working?
Common concerns


Am I enabling him/her?

Will he/she ever make it?

Others?
What about you?


Watch burn out

Take breaks

Lean on the support team
Steps in review
1. Create an organization
  system(s)

2. Limit distractions

3. Use strategies to increase
  focus levels

4. Build a support team

5. Motivation for him/her

6. Motivation for you
Order of importance?
1. Build a support team

Remember: distracted students also want to do well
They just are not typical
       students
And there are a lot of us non-
 typical learners out there...
And you will find them

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. The “333 Rule” A rebel knows how to prepare for a presentation. He or she lives and dies by something I like to call the “333 Rule.” This concept is simple and is the hallmark of a captivating and memorable presentation. 3 goals: Remember the lesson from Aristotle. Build trust. Win people. Deliver results. 3 stages: Every presentation has a strong beginning, middle, and end. In other words, it has a powerful introduction, body, and conclusion. 3 points: Before you pick-up a writing utensil to start your presentation outline, define the three takeaways do you want to leave with your audience. Three points. No more, no less. 333. Simple, isn’t it? It’s the rebel way. factual: Show statistics, graphs, charts – anything to help solidify that you know what you are discussing. Credibility comes tual: tual: Show statistics, graphs, charts – anything to help solidify that you know what you are discussing. Credibility comes instantly when your audience perceives you as an expert. Present your facts but proceed with caution – there is a gray line between presenting too much and too little information. Say too much and eyes will glaze over. Say too little and people will think you are a poser.Be Giving: Life is about contribution. It’s about sharing with the masses. A great presenter equips his or her listeners with the tools, knowledge, and resources needed to help them grow. People want to walk away with something of value. Provide them with something that either motivates, changes, or improves their life. Feast On ItMost presentations today are easy to forget. The key objective with delivery is to create memorable presentations. Thus, if there is only one thing you remember about delivery, remember this concept. It is called the Chow Technique. Try this method the next time you speak in public. It will increase memory and retention levels. A great presentation is like a fabulous three course meal. In other words, it is like great chow. Think of your favorite restaurant. What did you eat? Perhaps some filet mignon, risotto, or maybe you enjoyed a nice glass of chardonnay. No matter what it was, I’m sure it was delicious. A great presentation is laid out the same way. Starter: A captivating presentation has a strong open. Maybe it’s a story. Perhaps it is simply asking a question. Whatever it may be, it needs to be captivating. The Main Course: Your entrée (body) needs to be flavorful and engaging. It should also be simple, and easy to digest. Dessert: Your ending needs to be as strong as your open. There is an old saying amongst actors: “By their entrances and their exits shall ye know them.” End strong or you risk losing credibility.
