I teach a student who is deaf in one of his ears. I make sure that his placement is close to the front of the class. Also, I need to speak clearly to him when giving instructions, as well make sure I am using visual cues when communicating. |

Tools and Strategies

Task Analysis is one strategy that helps a lot of students. Sometimes a student can get overwhelmed by a task if it seems too daunting, and if his/her peers are excelling at a much quicker pace. Breaking the task down into smaller chunks can give the student a continuous feeling of success. For example, teaching a recorder song to students by breaking it down into: listening, clapping rhythm, singing rhythm with correct pitches, playing rhythm with correct pitches on the instrument.
Graphic Organizers can be used for students that are more visually-inclined, or students that have trouble processing and grouping information. For example, comparing and contrasting the Baroque and the Classical Period can be made into a visual activity by the use of a double-bubble map. |

Assessment of Learning

Option 1: Whenever the class takes a music quiz together, we use a couple different assessment strategies. I usually read through each question for them, ensuring that ALL students understand the question, regardless of their reading comprehension ability. Also, each student is required to answer questions using sign language (these are multiple choice quizzes), allowing students who have trouble with verbal communication to display their knowledge of the material. |
