I think it is most important to not make assumptions. When showing a YouTube clip, turn on Closed Captioning. Read aloud. Use volunteers to read, rather than calling on someone, or, worse, doing that horrible thing teachers used to do in which the students call on the next reader. Allow for written as well as oral responses to peer work, and give the student a choice of response. Allowing a student to use a technology or device to take notes. Be flexible. When a student asks to listen to music quietly in the corner for ten minutes to clear their head or help them focus, let them.

I had a student with anxiety/bi-polar disorder that benefited greatly from listening to their favorite music privately before performing. Rather than consipicuously excuse this student to do their thing, I made it part of our warm-up. Everyone would plug into headphones and use their favorite tunes to drop-in for a performance. |
