I currently have a third grade student who is visually impaired. She is totally blind in her left eye and has corrective lenses for her right. She is able to see large high contrast images, however, she has a hard time seeing the power point images on the projector screen in low light settings. I accommodate her by sitting her as close to the screen as possible. I also provide a copy of large print text and visuals at her seat. When demonstrating techniques I will provide her with large print step by step instructions. After group demonstration I will give her individual specific instruction. |

Two of the strategies that I feel would work in my classroom are Task cards and Cubing. Using the Task cards as part of my introduction to the concept helps students see the path to the final project. This would be particularly helpful for my students who need specific steps to follow. I can develop them to accommodate the different skill levels of my students from providing illustrations with simple words to more complex vocabulary as suits the students needs. I would make them available during each lesson of the project for students to self evaluate their progress. I would also level them up to the next set as their skills improve.
The second strategy would be utilizing the concept of Cubing. I think this would be an excellent way of building vocabulary knowledge as well as social skills. I would have students work in pairs. One student would roll the cube and the other one would read or help read the question (simple words), They would take turns rolling the cube and answering the questions until all six questions have been answered. |

Assessment of Learning

I have several classes where the students are identified as InD. After each lesson I review the main concept and do a verbal response assessment. I have also used a printed graphic of the different concepts and have the students identify and respond by pointing to the visual cue. We do call and respond songs and movement dances. |
