Tools And Strategies

I have had many students( from now on "S") with various disabilities over the years. Currently, I have a boy who is practically deaf. He wears a hearing device, so I use proximity control when clarifying with him and he sits as close to me (preferential seating) as possible to aid his understanding. This works with all sorts of different disabilities. I have had students that are dyslexic, so when we are reading material to be used in class, I sit and we read together and I use the "chunking" strategy to help them along.
Secondly,I have used the document camera when teaching drawing lessons. I have used the Smart Board to draw with them too. Fun YouTube videos help get them excited such as when I teach the Color Wheel. |

Assessment of Learning

I do a Baseline test (Pre-Assessment) with 5th graders to assess what the new or old students know about The Elements and Principals as well as terminology like "kiln" etc. This helps me to see the readiness of new students and would help me to support Students with disabilities in the Art room. I use Summative Evaluation practically daily, so I can see where they are right now as we are working. I can adjust, add to, or take away tasks as needed right then for a student with disabilities. |

Students with Disabilities

Just last year I sat one on one with a female student for her FSA's and her Art Baseline and EOC. The accommodations we used were "One on One", small group setting. We also removed her from the classroom (away from all the distractions) b/c she needed to read to herself out loud. I was allowed (per her accommodations) to read to her / for her if she asked me to. We also took frequent breaks. In the Art room this year (she's now a 5th grader) I use these same accommodations with her in my class. She asks to move if she feels she needs to (she does often b/c the girls at her table are very chatty) and she walks around for a minute or two for a mental break, during class. As a result of last years testing and getting to know her in a different way as a result, I am able to do more for her and be flexible with her and her needs. |
