In the this Blog Post we were instructed to do the following assignment.
Create an assignment for a Blog Post I should have created in your area of speciality (math, history, elementary ed, special ed, whatever). Write the instructions that I should have put here. Then do it.
I chose to do the assignment on "How can Teachers Help Children with ADHD in the Classroom".
Statistics show that 11% of American Children are diagnosed with ADHD. CDC ADHD This can be very challenging and frustrating as a teacher. I chose this topic because not only will I have to deal with this in a classroom I also deal with this from day to day with my own child. As a mother with a child that has ADHD the most important thing is PATIENCE. This is challenging for a teacher because it can be very disruptive to the classroom. Children with ADHD have problems with organizing, being still for a long period of time, and having problems following through with assignments. I have listed a few resources below on how teachers can be more effective with children who is diagnosed with ADHD.
