Students with Disabilities

I have had students who were DHH within the music classroom. With those students having interpreters, it makes instructing those students less difficult. I do have some modifications and accommodations for those students so they can be successful in music with the rest of their classmates. One of the fun things we did with a DHH student was to have all students, during learning rhythms, create their own gestures for rhythmic values. One of my DHH students chose "cat" for the quarter notes and hushing for the rests. I hope to continue generating interest in music for all students. |

Within the classroom, I have allowed the students to bring their iPads/laptops to music class in order to play a "game." In reality, it was for them to memorize a song they have been learning and will be performing. It was enjoyable for my DHH students as it did not require any speaking/singing/listening skills, but rather reading and recalling. I use Blooket as my gamifying of learning-- though I could also use Quaver as well. |

Assessment of Learning

I have some students who have a delay in speech, as well as a lack of desire to speak-- this really frustrates my formative assessments where I would pose higher-order questions and try to have them all answer at least once. For those students, I do give them an appropriate, sufficient wait time to think of the question, formulate how they want to answer, and then answer; additionally, I allow those students to point/gesture to the answer that may be on the board. |
