I have a student in my Technical Theatre course with severe speech impairment- she has difficulty speaking, and it is quite difficult to understand her when she offers input in class discussions; however, she is able to create beautiful designs and other artwork to supplement her replies, and we have learned together that when I call on her, I will ask her to show me an example of (insert prompt here). |

Tools And Strategies

I have used technology in my classroom by using an online classroom forum (Canvas) as a tool for recourses and references for all students. I have modules set up for each unit I teach in any given course, in which I have included all of the handouts and information used in class, as well as guided instruction so that a student can review the information by watching a video that I have either created or uploaded as a means of helpful support. Students can watch the videos as often as needed in order to assimilate the content to achieve mastery. |

Assessment of Learning

An example of adapted assessment that I have used in my Theatre Classroom is if a student is unable to complete the technical theatre project, instead of grading that student's work, I will have the student complete a self-reflection (written or orally) stating how they were successful, where they had trouble, and what they would do next time to feel more successful. This might also include stating what they didn't understand, and how they could communicate this to better receive support. Additionally, I will have a whole-class discussion where the students evaluate each other's work- noting successes, and offering suggestions for improvement. |
