1. I have an ADHD student that has been been greatly helped by sitting near me away from their peers. I have a special desk set up across from my teacher desk that has a extra super-comfy teacher chair. It was honestly the students idea because they love Art and wanted to be able to focus on doing good work. I've also enjoyed getting to have a little conversation and tetting to know this student.
Another strategy that I have used with him is giving him extra opportunities for movement in my classroom. I have him help me pass out and collect tools & materials in class.
2. I have also used technology with this student. I often show video project demonstrations and can slow and speed up the video as needed. |

1. I believe that I am inspired to add more Cooperative Learning in my Middle School Art classroom. I can see benefit in students working together in small groups to make larger projects than can be completed alone. And at this age, students find group work very enjoyable & engaging. I am also encouraged to add more Peer Partners for support. Sometimes there seems to be a communication issue between students and understanding directions from the teacher. Students can often relate to one another much better. I want to take advantage of this strategy.
I plan to purchase some IPADS for my classroom and to use them to incorporate some of the many visual learning apps. Sometimes we use art tutorials on YouTube and see that a student could benefit by being able to use an IPAD to work at their own pace. |
