Think of a student with a disability you have now or in the past. Describe ways in which their disability affected their learning in your class.
I have had many ESE students in my art classes over the last 6 years that range in most of the disabilities that were covered in this course. I had a student who was visually impaired and was not able to see details when drawing, so she always sat very close to what she was drawing. She was able to see values (lights and darks). Her artwork was very dynamic and interesting because she had a lot of contrast in her colors and values. |

- Describe how two of the strategies discussed could potentially be implemented in your classroom. Be sure to identify the two strategies by name and describe how they could be used to address the needs of a student with a disability.
As a visual art teacher, I model the objective and have students practice with homework assignments and in class before starting an assignment. Now, I will be more purposeful with the strategy and make sure each lesson has a very clear "I do, We do, You do" component. I will spend even more time on the I do and We do parts, as those were explained to be the most important before sending students off to complete their independent work.
- Describe at least one way you have used technology to meet the needs of a student with a disability in your classroom. Be sure to describe the specific technology and how it assisted the student with a disability.
Some students use their phones to take a photo of what is written on the board. Now that we use Google Classroom, I can simply upload my presentations as a PDF and students can view these at their own pace at home if needed. |
