Students with Disabilities

One student in particular comes to mind, an ESE student I have taught for 3 years now. He first began as shy and unsure, but now he is the one leading the class in daily routines, warm ups, and volunteering to go first for various activities. I model and visually show virtually all of what I do in my class whether it be text, movement, notation, etc. I see him becoming more patient and determined in learning new musical concepts where once he would often get frustrated and give up. The other day I needed to individually repeat directions to him and demonstrate what the class was to be composing, and then he got it no problem! He totally understands music and it's so great to see him being patient and determined to learn! |

I use task analysis when teaching songs to K-1st. Breaking down the song into smaller sections helps for overall mastery of the song and movements. I also liked the idea of cubing in regards to questioning about the story a piece of music tells. |

Assessment of Learning

I have a student in my K classroom that is undergoing the evaluation process for accommodations. For my last assessment, I decided to assess him by oral response versus written response. He did very well! I was able to assess the student using the method that worked best for him. |
