Timeline
1. Aspect of school library program you wish to measure for impact:
I would like to increase the engagement and success of grade 3 students with ADHD by strengthening my understanding of the ADHD brain and effective classroom interventions so that I can modify lessons within the BCPS Library Media curriculum to include more options for choice and interest-based learning opportunities through Genius Hour. / LMS / · BCPS One – Grade 3 Library Media Curriculum
· Genius Hour S’more to Introduce Topic

2. Research literature documenting evidence/impact of this aspect of school library program:
“Specifically, Powell and Nelson (1997) used choice-making with a 7-year-old child diagnosed with ADHD that led to decreased occurrences of undesirable behavior (e.g., inappropriate noise vocalizations, out of seat, noncompliance). In a similar study, Dunlap and colleagues (1994) reported improvements in task engagement with two 11-year-old boys with ADHD symptoms (though they did not report a formal diagnosis of ADHD).”
“Alternate low-appeal with high-appeal activities within your classroom to maintain the children’s interest level.”
“Inquiry based, self-directed, and problem-based learning studies have shown that students are more motivated and engaged when they are given ownership of their learning.” / LMS / Harlacher, J. E., Roberts, N. E., & Merrell, K. W. (2006). Classwide interventions for students with ADHD: A summary of teacher options beneficial for the whole class. Teaching Exceptional Children, 39(2), 6-12.

B. Ideas to consider for 2017-18 School Year
Participating in the EBP Showcase, helped me to reflect on the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to my progress with Genius Hour projects in the media center. At times, I have become very frustrated following genius hour sessions and wondered if it was all just a waste of time. Are the students learning anything? Is it worth it?
Learning to manage student behavior was an area of genius hour that I struggled with and looked everywhere for tips. My takeaway is that structure, expectations, and more exit tickets might be the keys to success for future lessons. / Participate in #GeniusHour Twitter chats for management tips and strategies
Continue research on UDL Center website to find additional ways to make Genius Hour more accessible to students
