Assessment of Learning

An example of an adapted assignment in a performance assessment is to allow the students who fail to perform a pass-off in class the option to turn it in at their own pace from home on their school chromebooks. This is especially great for my students that require extended time. I have had many students utilize this extra time and receive higher grades on their pass-offs.
Another example of an adapted assignment is allowing a student who broke an arm or wrist to play percussion until they recover. This allows them to continue reading and learning music while they heal. |

Student requires extra time to complete assessments and or complete in a small group environment. I allow those students to work with peers further along than they are and then complete the assessment at their own pace on their chromebook using a program called screen castify. This program allows them to record themselves playing their playing assessment and turn it in when they are ready. |

Students with Disabilities

I have a student who is vision impaired. She has a hard time getting around in a classroom with so many opportunities to fall or run into something. For this reason, we have a clear path that she knows each day. She sits up front and is paired with an assistant on her instrument to help her get her instrument out, get seated, and play. She is unable to view music as written from the book or sheet music so we blow up her music to a larger size for her. |
