I had a student this year for music that was in a wheelchair. His movement was limited. When the activity involved movement I would have someone help him by moving his wheelchair. If it was a movement that just involved his arms he would do the movement. |

Tools and Strategies

One strategy that I would try this coming year is the graphic organizers. Critically considering the disabilities in the room per grade level the graphic organizer will help students understand the concepts and learn these concepts by breaking it down. Teaching composers the semantic map could be used. Comparing types of music the Venn Diagram would help with the likes and differences. There are several different maps that can be used to help students with disabilities.
Another strategy that I had already planned on incorporating this year is the learning centers. The plan is to incorporate these centers on Fridays. It will be planned in such a way to meet the needs and abilities of students with disabilities and the needs of all students in the classroom. This will incorporate a way to practice what has been learned throughout the week. |

Assessment of Learning

Response cards have been a success in my class. I have used it for rhythm where students give the notation of the rhythm that is clapped. I start with the level of the learners and progress. Another strategy is the exit cards. It is a quick way to assess students that need show what they have learned in a different format. |
