Keith ,

You posed this question ; "ADD/ADHD is not necessarily distratability but actually attractability or attentiveness to something that seems more important and significant. If we agree with this concept, what must we do in our classrooms to help all students be able to be more mindful and less "distracted?" The simple answer is one any good EC teacher already practices... make the learning objectives interesting, engaging, and fun so children are attracted or drawn to them. When we spark children's curiosity they will be drawn to the activity and motivated to find an answer or solution.
