Assessment of Learning

I have had students in my classes with sever learning disabilities including autism and students on the spectrum that have a hard time learning and performing like other students. A few ways I have altered assessments is by allowing students more time on projects, having students take their quizzes orally and creating altered rubrics that allow for more flexibility to express their understanding. In creating assessments I would use more simplistic terminology and more basic feedback. |

I have used in the past google slides for students to create their own portfolio of work throughout the year in order for them to analyze the progression of work and growth that has taken place. I find this really helps students that are EMH to build self-esteem and to be able to talk about the meaning and process of their work which is a requirement for the end of the year assessment. |

I'm curious of what the Blender program is and how it was used in your class with students with Autism, could you expand on this program since I teach a lot of students with Autism. |

As a teacher that teaches students with sever disabilities that affect their motor skills I have modified a lot of materials to make it easier for students to grasp and use. One thing I did was melt down a bunch of small crayons to make large crayons for students to grasp. I also use paint brushes that are equipped with bubble handles for students to be able to hold onto these large handle brushes. |
