A couple of years ago, I had a student in my Theate 1 course who wsa visually impaired. She was a bright girl and a very good student, and was incredibly eager to learn. She had a digital braille reader that she could hook up to her phone. I converted all of our scripts and texts into work documens and e-mailed them to her so that she could follow along in class. All of our notes were given to her in a digital format. When the class was working on a project where they had to deisgn a poster for a musical, she wrote a commercial jingle for it. She was such a pleasure to have in class! She's a junior this year and still comes by to say hello. |

Assessment Of Learning

I had a student who had suffered a traumatic brain injury that affected her fine motor skills, including writing. By allowing her to talk through her answers to critiques, reflections and other assignments that required extensive writing, I was able to gage whether or not she had understood the material and skills we were working on. |
