Attention deficit disorder (ADD)


María Fernanda Armijo presented this topic in her micro-lesson. She did it well, she explained many important things related to this kind of disorder which affect lots of people in the world, mainly children. I was able to discuss the difficulties that a teacher may face when they have students with this disorder and also the different strategies a teacher should use in order to deal with these students. The topic was quite interesting and relevant. María Fernanda spoke clearly and also managed the topic.

There were the following weaknesses. First of all, María Fernanda did not use the teaching space properly, she should have moved around the room but at the end of the micro-lesson, she monitored the activity in a very good way since she passed for every group of students to help and clarify the instructions. I can also mention she was too serious and her micro-lesson was not structured enough, so it seemed to be a lecture since there was too much TTT (teacher-talking-time). She must give more time to make students participate. I hope she does not forget this next time she prepares a good lesson.
