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 a few students with intellectual disabilities. I use different strategies with them including differentiated instruction, more one on one instructional guidance, and modifying supplies for their artwork. The main thing that I want my students to be able to feel as a sense of success in their creation process. I want them to feel as though they have accomplished something and that they are able to express themselves in a creative way. Whatever that may look like for their skill and/or development level.

Tools And Strategies

- 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.
Peer partners could be a useful strategy to implement in my visual Fine Arts classroom, because students can help each other in the creative process with greater success. Teaming up a student who may struggle with fine motor skills in drawing with a student who shows a more masterful skill level can help to coach the other with the drawing techniques. As well as helping them too clearly communicate their creative ideas. Self evaluation and reflection strategies can really help students to think more critically about their choices that they make while they create artwork. This can help them too improve their craftsmanship and composition mindset when they are working, if they know there will be a reflection upon their work when it is complete. |

Assessment of Learning

- Think of a fine arts student with a disability you have now or in the past. Review the Assessment Accommodations Checklist and select two options that could potentially benefit this student in assessing his or her fine arts learning. Discuss how they would benefit the student.
One type of accommodation that could be given to students with intellectual disability is that of curriculum modifications. For instance, I have had several students working below grade level and are on access points, these students are unable to work at the same grade level developmentally as their peers. Therefore, I would modify their project outcomes to better suit their developmental stage and ability to use tools. Their physical product of artwork would be an acceptable use of an assessment to their skills. A type of assessment accommodation that could be used for students with disabilities is an exit ticket. Exit tickets are easy and quick ways to assess learning of students, this could be done orally as well as written. |
