I am a teacher and i want to do better (self.adhduk)

So basically I'm a college teacher and I've been doing it for less than a year, our new set of learners has multiple people with ADHD and honestly they are fantastic people and they have great input for the lessons but they're also very disruptive at times.

I just want advice from people in the same boat on what I can do to be better for them. I never expected for a single day in my life that I would become a teacher so I don't really know what I'm doing in this situation and I don't want to be a dick about it cos it's not their fault.

Thanks in advance.

It can be quite nerve-wracking at first! But as long as they trust you to take their thoughts as a positive bouncing off point for more thoughts (rather than being told they're wrong), they'll relax and help each other with the process of thinking it through.

Good luck!
