I have been blessed to work with many children in a visual arts classroom. Thankfully, each child can express themselves utilizing the mediums and techniques in their own way. I have utilized a microphone worn to help hearing impaired students. I have taught students with behavior disorders, and we have worked to find the right spot for them in class, alternate ways to communicate frustrations, and the like. All of the children come with their special challenge, and of course this has affected the classroom environment, but I believe in a positive manner. By working with each child with understanding, it has rubbed off on all the children in the classroom. It has made them realize we are all different, but we work with what we have and use art as our way to communicate. |

I have been able to use a mnemonic device with a student that helps them to communicate effectively, as well as software that can speak for the student and transpose it to writing. This has eliminated alot of frustration from students who experience difficulty in writing repsonses. |

Assessment of Learning

I have worked with students in many various areas of ability. I have found that providing visual cue cards can help to "jog" memory about a certain artist, technique, or principle/element. Utilizing exit tickets, and allowing the students to utilize these visual cue cards provides a security that seems to help with assessment. |
