You hold the room together. Who holds you?
Teacher Getting It Done is nine weeks of group coaching for teachers who identify with ADHD or have been diagnosed. Built for report card season, not for a quiet office.
Small repeated misses chip away at your credibility.
Late to the staff meeting again. Marking that slid past the deadline. The form the office asked for twice. None of it reflects how much you care, and all of it is visible to colleagues, students, and parents.
There is a way out that does not rely on medication alone, and does not involve one more round of criticism and shame.
Thirty interruptions an hour is the job, not a distraction you can remove.
IEPs, emails, report cards, and a prep block that disappears the moment it starts.
By 4:30pm the executive function budget is spent, and your own life is next in line.
Three pillars, one term.
Getting It Done splits ADHD into overwhelm, distraction, and procrastination. Each pillar takes three weeks, and by the end is where it all gets built into your own timetable.
Overwhelm
Name the load, cut the cognitive cost of starting, and build a weekly plan that survives a Monday.
Distraction
Protect attention in a room built to interrupt it, and set up the classroom and desk to help.
Procrastination
Understand the reward in last-minute pressure, then get the same momentum on purpose.
Your own timetable
Put the whole model into your teaching year, with your accountability buddy in place.
What is included when you sign up
Ten weeks of live coaching
Psychologist-level group sessions with Dr. Claire and Tom, Wednesdays at 4:30pm PST.
13 recorded videos
With PDF worksheets, so a missed week never means a missed unit.
An accountability buddy
Other teachers in the cohort who know exactly what your week looks like.
The ADHD Hub
Community access between sessions, plus a discounted ticket to future programs.
A UForward booklet, mailed to you
Paper scaffolding for executive function that lives on your desk, not in a tab you forgot to open.
"Top grades at school, and always in detention. High standards, and constant stress. It took until 41 to get a diagnosis."
Dr. Claire's research background is executive function and working memory. Tom coaches the practical side, and has spent a career building learning programs, including an inquiry middle school.
Everything in this program is peer-reviewed psychology translated into practical learning for adults, not somebody who read a few books about ADHD and decided to coach.
Who it is for
- Teachers in elementary, secondary, and post-secondary who identify with ADHD or have a diagnosis.
- Teachers coming to terms with ADHD for the first time.
- Teachers who know ADHD well and want new frameworks in the toolbox.
Who it is not for
The more you put in, the more you get out. There will be weeks where you are asked to be curious and self reflective, and change does not arrive from watching inspirational posts. If this term is not the term for that, we would rather say so now.
Take the term off autopilot.
Sign up now, or book a free 15-minute call with an ADHD specialist first. No card needed for the call.
Available to BCTF and STK members or any teacher at elementary, secondary, and post-secondary.
What teachers ask first
Do I need skills when I already take medication?
Medication can improve sustained attention and reduce distractibility. It does not help you decide what to pay attention to. Attention control and executive function come from new skills, strategies, and habits.
Can I attend if I miss a Wednesday?
Yes. Every live session is recorded and you keep access to the video course and worksheets, so parent-teacher night or a sick day does not put you behind the cohort.
What is the time commitment during a school term?
About an hour a week beyond the live session, chunked into manageable pieces. You can go as fast or slow as the term allows.
How do I know the program works?
The techniques come from psychological research, taught by a psychologist who specialises in ADHD and lives with it. It is PhD-level material interpreted for practical learning by adults.
What if the program is not right for me?
Give it two weeks. If it is not for you after that, you get a full refund, no questions asked. And we can still be friends.
