I have an elementary music student who is hard of hearing. I seat him in the front of the class and close to the speakers so he can hear me and the music better. I also borrow the microphone that his teacher uses when I'm giving instructions. All of this has been successful for him and can perform the music very well with the other students. |

Tools and Strategies

I would like to try using centers to reach all student learning levels in my classroom. Two strategies that I could use for the centers are various types of graphic organizers and task cards. Both of those strategies will be differentiated and engaging, and will support what I have modeled in my whole group instruction lessons. |

Assessment of Learning

I did a lesson on different sections of music with a first grade class that had students with disabilities included. After the lesson we did a summative, aural assessment to see how well they understood the lesson. They had to close their eyes and raise their hands when the music changed to a new section. I wrote the directions, explained, and modeled them for the students so everyone could be successful. |
