Teacher Page

The student that the webquest is designed for is for a student in the second grade who is diagnosed with attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). He often has trouble staying on task and engaged in the lesson. I have organized his daily activities using short simple directions. I have also designed fill in the blank worksheets, engaging videos, hands on activities, sequence of events activities, educational games and interactive vocabulary. I will guide him through the process, check for understanding and offer positive reinforcement. I eventually want to him to become a lifelong learner.

 

After completing this assignment, I have learned that every child learns differently. It is important to develop and incorporate different strategies while you are teaching. I had to look for many resources to ensure my student with ADHD had met his accommodations to fit his learning style. Just like there are many different cultures in the world, every student is unique!
