Students with Disabilities

I have a student in one of my classes who has emotional/behavioral disability. When he is in my class, he tends to get frustrated when he sees other student's work and begins to compare it to his. He gets so upset that he will throw away his art work, and hide under the table. Once he is under the table, it is hard for him to refocus on art. I started to have him focus on art that he would like to create rather than telling him and the rest of the students exactly what they needed to create. There are certain guidelines they need to follow, but for subject matter, I give them the ability to chose what they'd like to focus on. |

Tools And Strategies

I try to use technology in my classroom every day. The advantages of having technology to go with my instruction really benefits all students. There is one class in particular that has a student who is Deaf /Hard of Hearing that I am thinking of that I always use technology in. Every time he comes to my class, he has someone who signs to him, but having my computer projected on the screen with images and examples of work that we will be creating always seems to help him further understand the task. Occasionally I will have a video prepared to show the class of a "fast forward" process of creating the project assigned. This has always been a big interest for children in my classroom, as they become very interested in creating the project themselves. |

Assessment of Learning

Typically when students complete their projects, I like them to fill out an assessment log to determine how they felt they did on the assignment. For example, I have a student who is autistic and whenever I do these logs in the class, I provide images for him of his project. These images that I took of his project are of when it was in the process of being created, and the completed project. Having these images promote thinking of previous stages that they have concurred. They may forget about what it took them to create the final project. |
