Students With Disabilities

I had a student with a behavior disability and he would get angry and violent when things didn't go well for him. To avoid frustration in the art classroom, I would sit beside him and quietly discuss the assignment and any accommodations he might want to feel successful in completing the project while hitting on the main objectives of the lesson. |

Assessment of Learning

I assisted with recreational activities for visually impaired students at a Deaf and Blind school. No one did crafts with the students on weekends, so I took a few visually impaired students into the art room and we did paper mache. They were taught how to make simple newspaper armatures and then using their sense of feeling only, they would dip pre-cut strips of paper into the paste mixture and lay them across the armature. I taught them how to feel for dry spots so they were able to cover the entire armature with strips to create an abstract sculpture. It was all about the process and not the final product. They loved going back the next week to feel how the dried sculptures turned out. |

I teach Art for a virtual school. I have an assignment where students come up with an idea for a superhero that does not already exist. Students are supposed to answer questions about their superhero such as the name of the character, its role in a story, its appearance and costume, and its superpower(s). I have had students do this with me over the phone for any students who have difficulty with writing and/or other written communication skills. |
