Students with Disabilities

Last year I had a student who was completely deaf in one ear, which made it difficult for him to participate and keep up with the pace of the class. To accommodate him, I made sure to wear an audio enhancement microphone and stand where he could clearly see me so that he could read my lips. Those simple accommodations made a big difference for him. In turn, he became one of my top performing students. |

In my music class for my Intellectual Disabled students, I have used the Smart Board Technology to complete a hands on activity focusing on high and low pitch/sounds. The activity called for them to tap on the various animals pictured to hear the sound the animal made. They then had to place the animal in the correct box based off their sound, high pitch or low pitch by dragging it. The students really enjoyed this activity. |

Assessment of Learning

I had a student who was Orthopedically Impaired and writing was difficult for her . The students were given a paper/pencil music notation assessment at the end of our music notation unit. Being that writing was difficult for her, I adapted the test so that she could take it orally instead. She was able to look at each note and verbally give her response instead of writing it. |
