Assessment of Learning

I have a student with disabilities that is very young in age (pre-k) and has extreme difficulty staying in one place for any period of time. I chose to work with him one on one by playing a rolling ball game that allowed him to sit instead of running around the room and roll it back and forth to me for eye and hand coordination practice. We also talked about the ball being yellow and he repeated the color of the ball. He began laughing and smiling and was engaged with this type of learning. I also adapted the instruction for him since he didn't want to color with crayons I gave him playdough and he worked on rolling it into balls, squishing it on the table and making shapes with it to stay on task. |

In my online class for teaching with disabilities I was asked to discuss a strategy that i used in my classroom to help students that were struggling to understand my art lesson. I chose to use the chaining strategy for the spooky oil pastel project. this involved me creating a visual so that each student could see visually step by step each process to completed the project. It was very helpful because I have some students who also only speak Spanish so the visual helped them fill in the blanks where their English was lacking. I even got a big thumbs up and a huge smile from one of my girls when I could see that she now understood the steps to begin and complete her project. |
