I have used technology on multiple occasions in order to implement scaffolding techniques. At the Charter School I was previously employed at, specialized in helping Tier 1 students recover credits and, often times, transfer back to their primary high school. Computer work was mandatory in every classroom and one of he programs we loved using was Reading Plus. This program would assess a students reading level and prompt to them to answer questions based on digestible chucks of information. As the teacher, I could reinforce the lesson with any one of three handouts separate by skill level. The follow up work is separated into 3 levels, beginner, intermediate, and advanced. These lesson would only follow direct classroom instruction and small group work. |

In my room, studio based 3D courses, the student has hands on learning, demonstrations, Lots of Visuals. I locate these student and try to move them close to me and also include them in groups with students they are comfortable with and work well with. I always provide lots of visuals and examples of what we are doing as well as up close hands on demonstrations. I have sketchbooks for all students and I have them write procedures, art terms and other instructions in daily. I also have two boards with daily goals and expectations and another with procedures and examples. |

I think the sketch books are a great idea. That and having your students move from activity to activity should be a great for keeping their. attentionJayce Ganchou wrote:

I had a deaf and hard of hearing student in my fine arts class. The student was very capable and able to complete most of the assignments without much additional help. When a translator was available the student would have access to direct instructions I delivered to the class as a whole. On these days I would have the student and translator sit either to the side of the room around my desk, or towards the back so the rest of he class wouldn't get too distracted. When the translator was not available, I would have written instructions printed out and placed on this students desk. Through hand gestures and placement this student was able to stay in task. I found that though a collected effort, we could accommodate this student and allow them to accomplish tasks on pace. |

I also had a student who was mute. He carried a tablet with him every where he went. He has the most profound and well thought out questions and responses to the subject matter. Jill wright wrote:
I have a student in two of my art classes who is selectively mute. First of all, her parents provided all of her educators with information so we could be informed. She is a delightful student, and we have developed codes and. Undies to assist. She carries a small notepad for when she has a question. There is a student that sits with her who will talk for her when we have oral presentations. This girl is an amazing artist, and in the school year I have learned how to anticipate questions or issues she might have. The amazing thing is that she actually laughed out loud in class one day! The class has been accepting of her and we all really like having her in art! This year, she had two pieces in the county art show, won a best of the best award, and was "most dedicated art student." None of this was handed to her because of her SLD, but because she earned it. |
