I had a student who had hearing loss and wore an assistive hearing device in class. He often was reluctant to participate and share during Q&A. I worked with him and our specialist to find better ways to help him feel more comfortable in the art class so he could share. Some examples are: we moved his seat closer, I was given a microphone that worked with his device (that really helped), we did more small group quick shares or partner talk then have the table share an opinion on the artist. This helped him become more comfortable. |

I currently have a kindergarten student with ASD and LI. He is able to complete projects well, but needs monitoring and frequent refocusing to complete tasks in sequence. He tends to get caught up in one part of a task where he will lose his focus at which time I need to verbally reiterate the instruction, a peer does so (we use Kagan structures), or I re-demonstrate the transition to the next step. I have examples visible for him, with steps. |

That is a great idea to use the Kagan strategies. Kris Taft |

Assessment of Learning

My student has ADHD. I allow this student to have additional time and be at his own desk space to avoid distractions while assessing his learning. I also allow for breaks. This allows him to re-focus if he needs too. |

Tools And Strategies

In my art classroom I use Nearpods to introduce lessons or to group students to work cooperatively to complete the lesson. The students love using this technology and it gives me the opportunity to circulate around and monitor students learning. The students are each given a task within the group a so all students are actively learning at their level. |
