Students with Disabilities

I currently teach a student that is EMH. The student is usually well behaved in music class. He has toileting issues, so we have to make sure he uses the restroom during class. He is currently in first grade. When we played the Orff instruments this week, I made sure to pair him with a peer who would work well with him. I also try to check in with him throughout the lesson to ensure that he is grasping the concepts that I am teaching. |

Tools and Strategies

Option 1-
The first strategy I will use is Learning Centers. I want to create effective learning centers that will help give additional practice to those students who may need it. Additionally, I will have time to work with students in a small group to assess learning or re-teach concepts, as needed.
The second strategy I will use is the Cornell Note-Taking System. I am going to use interactive journals with the students in fifth grade this year and I think that the students with disabilities may benefit from having an organized approach to taking notes, when needed, in my class. I will provide Guided Notes to those who may struggle with copying from the ELMO, if needed. |

Assessment of Learning

When I have assessed student learning, there are times where my students with disabilities find it easier to verbalize answers, rather than write answers. I have given an assessment to a student in a small setting and allowed the student to tell me the answer. After all, the goal is not testing the child on reading. The goal is measuring their understanding of what has been taught. |
