Two ways administrators can support teachers use of explicit and intensive instruction by 1) providing appropriate and ongoing professional learning in using UDL, differentiating instruction and providing accommodations for teachers often, and 2) by working with teachers in their classrooms to problem solve for an individual student's needs to provide intensive instruction using modeling or scaffolding. |

Assessment of Learning

Administrators can assist fine arts educators in learning to appropriately adapt assessment in several ways. One way is to collaborate with an ESE specialist who can provide training and resources that are available in one's district. Another way is to work with that teacher to explore what assessment strategies and alternatives would still allow you to assess mastery of the standard but provide choice, accommodation, extra time, a tool, or assistance in taking the assessment. The administrator could work with the teacher until the teacher was comfortable to make choices that best aligned with the student's abilities. |
