Students with Disabilities

I had a group of three self-contained students enroll and participate in a Men's choir with the assistance of an IA. With the IA's guidance, I setup peer mentors to greet and build the day-to-day relationships to assist and encourage them throughout the year. These boys participated in all activities, requiring access points to benchmarks. All the students in that class grew and benefited from the engagement and grew to be champions for these individuals in and out of class. With their parents' support, I would send home reinforcing recordings, periodically, of music selections and sections. We took extra time to worked on social skills and concert etiquette to enter and exit the stage. As a result of these efforts, all three students were successful at participating in our school concerts. Their parents couldn't have been more proud. |

Option 2: I provided electronic copies of all music and digital images of handouts/projections from our classroom for use on an iPad to allow a student with a visual impairment to enlarge materials appropriately. |

I adapted scheduled in-class performance assessments. Where the majority of students perform in person on independent parts, the qualifying students were allowed to submit a recording of themselves completing the same passages in a timely manner. |
