Understanding the Disorder - Back to Top Teachers are often the first to become aware that a child may have an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This workshop is designed to provide an awareness of the complex behaviors related to ADHD, the school's role in the diagnostic process, and knowledge of medications used to treat the disorder. The structure, curriculum, philosophy, strategies, and options for working with students who are at high risk of dropping out of school are the focus of this workshop.
Emphasis is placed on areas of participant interests.
Another way to measure students' growth, knowledge, and understanding is by using performance assessments. This workshop provides an overview of performance assessment and portfolios, classroom examples, tips on construction and methods of evaluation. This workshop allows teachers to make assessment a teaching activity. This workshop cultivates understanding, acceptance, and constructive relations among people of different backgrounds. These include the factors of race and ethnicity, socio-economics, academics, social skills, disability, language, appearance, behavior, rural vs. urban, and gender.
