Abstract: (This is in the final paper as well) This professional project equips K–12 educators with evidence-based strategies to support the academic and personal success of students with ADHD. Delivered through a one-hour professional development session, it includes a Google Slides presentation, a printed note-taking document, and a curated resource guide featuring information on ADHD, neurodivergence, executive functioning, and movement breaks. By addressing key executive functions—planning, time management, goal setting, organization, and cognitive flexibility—the project fosters student growth and inclusive, student-centered learning. It also reflects my development as an instructional leader committed to equity, collaboration, and innovation in supporting educators and creating environments where all learners can thrive.
