I had a visually Impaired student in my 2nd grade art class. Other than the obvious, moving her closer to the board, I also provided handouts for her to see how to draw the objects which I laid on her table. I made sure to include her in discussions and I also gave her a hand held magnifying glass. The other students thought it was the coolest thing and wanted to try it as well. This seemed to make the visually impaired student more excited about the project and helped other students encourage her. |

I would like to use the mediated scaffolding in my teaching with students with disabilities. I think the idea of modeling, stepping back, offering support and encouraging would help my students in my art classroom. I feel as if I model but don't always step back and asses if they are grasping procedures. It tends to get busy in the classroom and sometimes step away and don't continue to monitor that student. I would also like to use exit cards to see what students have gained in knowledge and skills in the class. I think this would be helpful... I just need to leave some time at the end of the class. |
