Students with Disabilities

I have a 3rd grade student that has ADHD. He has a difficult time concentrating and sitting still. He can, at times, be very disruptive to his fellow students in class. He has a hard time paying attention while I'm teaching a lesson or an art concept. We struggled the first time I met him, but with collaboration with his teacher, I was able to make class better for all of us. I made him my "assistant teacher". This makes him feel special and aids in keeping his attention while I am teaching. He loves art now and tries his best on assignments. My students and I love to praise him for his help with class and his artwork. |

Tools And Strategies

I use a variety of technology in my classroom. I use the smartboard for large and small group instruction. When introducing an artist, I either read a book under the projector (which is projected onto the smartboard) or I play a short video such as "Art with Mati and Dada". This peaks my ESE students as they are cartoon characters, colorful, and entertaining. I follow with discussion about the artist and the book or video, and introduce a similar art project. I have a couple of iPads that I use with my ESE students so they can replay a video or a how to video. |

Assessment of Learning

I have a student with SLD. I allow her to draw her assessment examples digitally on the iPad instead of paper/pencil sketchbook project. This allows her to express her artwork in a way that was motivating for her. She created the most interesting designs for her assessment in drawing a mandala showing radial symmetry. |
