1. Provide/Describe one or more examples of adapted or alternative assessments you have successfully used in the classroom for students with disabilities. Be sure to identify the student's disability. Share your response in the threaded discussion.
I have a student with Visual impairment. Whenever we have questions posted for them to respond to, I will read them out loud. For written assessments, I print them out in an extra large font for her to use. She is able to write her responses normally. |

One of my ESE students attends with a fourth grade class. He has some developmental delays and is not able to write anything more than his first name. Drawing is beyond him at this point. When my students were working on a marker project where they were doing a contour line drawing and filling the shapes with patterns, i helped him to do a large scribble drawing. In the shapes created by overlapping lines, i would highlight an area and have him fill in the area with colored markers. That challenged him to control his coloring and stay within the lines. He was very proud of the work he did and couldn't wait to show me what he colored. |

In my classroom I have used the Kagan grouping practice called think/pair/share. I might pose a question to the students such as, "How does the artist use line to communicate his feelings in this work of art?" The student will write a response on his whiteboard, then will pair up with another student to share his thoughts, and they with him. That way, everyone can share with at least one other student. They change partners for the next question.
I use self reflection and evaluation at the end of every project. I post a rubric that the students can reference. They compose a short statement about the art. They tell me if they feel they accomplished the goal of the project, and what things they did well. They also tell me what they could improve on and suggest ideas for future projects. |
