Describe an example of an adapted assessment you have successfully used in the fine arts classroom for students with disabilities.


I had two students with visual impairments. I adjusted our assessment activities to focus more on aural skills including call & response and individual assessment of individual rote learning. I provided recordings of 5 songs/melodies they had to learn by ear and perform from memory including Mario Bros, Angry Birds, and Happy Birthday. Many students took this as a fun challenge and actually paired up and created duets or accompaniment parts for their ear songs. It functioned as a great way to get them playing their instruments while focused on listening as well as playing and not so tied to notation. For other playing tests, I created an aural model of the parts the students were playing so they could use the aural model to learn their part. I also adjusted prep time for those students.
