Students with Disabilities

I had a Kindergarten student who was visually impaired in both eyes and def in one ear. She did not have a problem hearing instructions. She was not able to see the video presentations nor the examples of art work. Her learning was limited to tactile activities. |

This year, I am teaching art on a cart during the pandemic. Everything is new to me as well as the students. There is a lot of transient students. Mid-year, I got a new fourth grade student. He didn't seem to respond to my teaching the way the other students did. After a few weeks went by, I was presented with a lanyard that attached to a microphone. The new student was partially deaf and wore a hearing device that picked up the microphone that hung from my lanyard so he could hear. Needles to say, his engagement soared.
Since I spend about 30% of my time teaching virtually, I'm using technology then also. |

Assessment of Learning

I teach 5th grade students who are SLD and are low level readers. I give written assessments. Since I am not assessing reading standards, I read the test to the entire class. That way, no one is singled out, I can control the pace and give extra time when and where needed. |
