You'll know if they aren't...
Behaviour incidents will happen more often and be more difficult to manage
If this sounds familiar, it's not because your teachers don't care, or they aren't interested. It's because they've never developed the right expertise.
Here's the problem.. When teaching staff:
- don't understand a child's ADHD or...
- don't use the right ADHD-friendly strategies consistently
...that student's behaviour deteriorates quickly.
It's a slippery slide.
Before you know it...
The child's behaviours are entrenched...
making them more resistant to change
The relationship between the pupil and the teacher has soured...
fuelling stress and resentment on both sides
That student's behaviour becomes a catalyst for copy-cat behaviours from other students...
making the class even more difficult to manage
Which piles on the pressure on your teaching staff...
and you can see them getting dragged down into a negative spiral
But it's worse than that
Behaviour incidents escalate more quickly, more often
As a senior leader, you start getting called out of meetings to “sort out that pupil in Y5D as he's disrupting the lesson again.” Before you know it, he's spending more time in your office than in his classroom.
His parents complain. They want to know what's being done to support their child, and why he isn't getting the education he's entitled to. They say you're failing him.
Other parents complain about the behaviour in the classroom and the constant disruption. (And that's what they're saying in person - don't even think about what they're posting on Facebook...)
The teacher's at breaking point. He looks exhausted. He had a good attendance record, but now he's started calling in sick.
Everyone's looking at you. They want answers. And they want them today.
But now imagine this...
It's 3 weeks later. You walk to the classroom and you see:
- The teacher using the ADHD-friendly classroom strategies, taking ownership of the situation
- Now he's getting the right provision, your pupil with ADHD is working in his classroom, where he belongs (there are still occasional incidents, but now they're manageable)
- The relationship between the adults and the student has improved (and people are smiling!)
- Your staff look confident and relaxed for the first time in months
Plus:
How good would that feel?
It may sound impossible - but here's the GOOD NEWS...
Yes! You're about to be the leader who makes this happen...
And it could be easier than you think
The truth is, when the pupil's underlying needs are met, most of the behaviours melt away.
So the solution is getting your teachers to use proven and consistent classroom strategies that focus on causes. With the emphasis on proactivity rather than reactivity.
It's common sense. Get that correct and everything else falls into place.
And your role? Simple...
It's to secure your teaching staff the best training. Because when the adult's bring the right knowledge - and combine it with the right mindset - they can move mountains.
You need:
The right training, straight out of the gates...
...so your staff don't waste time and energy on the wrong strategies (and become close-minded to support in the future)
Training with a good track record, rated highly by hundreds of teachers...
...so you build on the experience of others and feel confident you're making the right decision
Training that has a long-term impact (not a flash-in-the-pan)...
...so you're not in the same position in 3 year's time, spending even more money on the same problem
Introducing... ADHD Mastery!
Your ADHD Mastery training has been specifically written to give your teaching staff the skills they need to:
- Consistently implement proven ADHD-friendly teaching strategies (and understand why they work, so they can adapt them if they need to)
- Have a deep understanding of ADHD and the barriers it presents
- Increase their confidence in the classroom
Also: ADHD Mastery will give you a return on your investment year after year after year (I'll show you how in a moment...)
"The content was VERY relevant to our staff. It had many useful applications to ALL children. It will also be a useful check list to see what strategies have been tried by the teacher before saying the child isn't working in class. We would recommend highly."

About Your Instructor
Simon Currigan is the co-founder of Beacon School Support.
As well as working as a mainstream teacher for over a decade, he also successfully taught large numbers of children permanently excluded from school for significant behaviour issues. He's also worked as the Centre Head of a Pupil Referral Unit.
In addition, for over 12 years, Simon's supported over 60 schools across the Midlands, guiding them through the process of improving all aspects of behaviour.
That means he's got valuable, day-to-day experience of supporting students with social, emotional and mental health needs - including many pupils diagnosed with ADHD.
In ADHD Mastery, I'll guide your staff through must-know ADHD facts and techniques, including:
What the latest science says is driving the behaviour of pupils with ADHD...
(it's probably not what you think)
How to help children regulate their impulses...
so you see improved behaviour both in and out of school
How the layout of many classrooms...
can actually make the difficulties of students with ADHD worse
The secret of why most school behaviour policies simply don't work...
for pupils with ADHD (and how to approach behaviour modification in a way that works with the child's ADHD rather than against it)
15 never-fail strategies...
to boost pupil focus and organisation, so your students with ADHD spend more time on-task and make more progress (including how to use work-recovery cycles to create classroom success)
If you think medication is the answer... you're wrong!
You'll learn why medication is rarely a long-term solution - and what steps to take so the same old behaviour problems don't resurface quickly in future
Practical, proven classroom strategies
That compensate for the day-to-day impact of ADHD
Of course, there will always be times when behaviour difficulties arise.
That's why I also share 6 key strategies that are gold dust for managing the behaviour of ADHD students.
These strategies are hand-picked and have been tried-and-tested in dozens and dozens of schools, just like yours.
You'll never hear the question, “Is ADHD even a real thing?” again.
Feel confident your staff know how to support students with ADHD successfully
What is ADHD Mastery...
And how does it work?
ADHD Mastery is online training for your teaching staff. It works like traditional face-to-face training, but it's delivered online.
Running the training is a simple, 3-step process:
- Bring your staff together in a room with a projector and sound facilities (like face-to-face training, everyone watches ADHD mastery together)
- Open the training video on our website
- Press play
From time to time, you'll be asked to collect ideas from your staff and write them on flipchart paper.
It's easy.

"Really useful as it gave strategies rather than just the science behind the disorder which is what other training usually focuses on. It engaged our staff very well and they are a tough audience in all honesty! They said that they much preferred it to having a guest speaker in."

Frequently asked questions
Who is ADHD Mastery for?
ADHD Mastery is designed for anyone who works with ADHD pupils in an educational setting. It includes practical classroom strategies that will support students in both primary and secondary schools.
Although it's primarily intended for teaching staff (teachers, TAs, learning mentors etc.), anyone who comes into contact with children in your school will find benefit from the training.
Is this relevant to my school?
ADHD is thought to affect 11% of school-age children, making it the most common brain-based development disorder in schools. That makes it relevant to all schools.
Do I need to know a lot about ADHD to run the training?
No. I'll guide your staff through all the strategies in a step-by-step fashion. You don't need any prior knowledge about ADHD.
Is this as good as having you train my teaching staff in person?
Not quite - for a start, you can't ask me questions.
But with ADHD Mastery, you pay once and get lifetime access to the material, so you can re-use it as often as you want. If you wanted me to train your staff in person, it would cost £279 (ex-VAT) for every single visit.
Will using these strategies completely eliminate challenging behaviour from all my ADHD students?
No - every student is different. However, if your staff follow the strategies consistently, you'll know they're putting in place provision that targets the underlying needs driving your pupils' difficulties.
What handouts are included for my teaching staff?
I provide strategy booklets, covering key points from the training, and attendance certificates for your attendees. You will need to print these out before the training starts.
How does the training work?
It's a series of training videos, interspersed with group tasks.
I'll explain clearly what each task involves, and even include a timer so your staff know how much time they have left.
As facilitator, you'll occasionally be asked to record answers from the group on flipchart paper.
How do I get ready for the training?
Included in the training is a facilitator's handbook. It's a step-by-step checklist of what you need to get ready for the training.
It even includes a sign-in sheet, so you can record who attended the training.
Do I need to be technically minded to run the training?
No. If you can play an internet video with sound on a projector or interactive whiteboard, you have all the technical skills you need.
"The staff were very engaged... It was valuable to see why certain strategies that are used in school may not be useful when working with children with ADHD (reward systems for example – we found the concept of “now and not now” a useful way to describe this.)"
