All students are to be provided a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) and in order to ensure every student is included, all educators must learn to advocate for their students. At my school we have a wide-range of students with disabilities, from students with Autism, visual impairments, speech and language impairments, specific learning disabilities, Emotional and behavioral disability, and Other Health Impaired. Our fine arts teacher can advocate and ensure appropriate inclusion for all students by providing the materials, scaffolds, differentiated instruction, and modifications to access along with typical peers the fine arts curriculum. |

School and/or district administrators can support fine arts educators’ use of explicit and intensive instruction for student with disabilities by providing them with access to or support with acquiring professional development on teaching students with special needs/disabilities as well as ensuring that they have the materials and manipulatives for student engagement and participation. |

Administrators can assist fine arts educators’ in learning about how to use adapted assessment in their fine arts classroom by providing time for pre-and post- assessments for all students so that growth can be determined. The pre-assessment will also allow the fine arts teacher to plan for differentiated lessons to help support all learners. Administrators can also support the implementation of ongoing assessments that will allow for continuous feedback on the effectiveness of instruction and where changes in instructional strategies can occur. |
