Tools And Strategies

There are a few strategies that I have used in my classroom for students with ADD or Anxiety Disorder. These two seem to be the most beneficial.
1. Pairing Up with a Buddy- This strategy has worked quite well especially in my elective dance classes where I see multiple students with different types of challenges and disabilities. I will pair students up with other students who have had some dance experience. This gives them more security as well as someone who will be with them to help with any issues or struggles they may have.
2. Another strategy that has worked for different populations is showing them professional dance. Most of them have never seen a professional dance concert or performance. We will watch short clips and then try and manipulate some of the material to emulate the movement in the best way they can, that works for them. |

I give entrance and exit tickets for students to engage in their previous knowledge and connect to what they are currently working on in class. In all of my classes I use Venn Diagrams, both written and physical. (I teach dance.) I also use performance based tests in all of my classes. I adjust to the individual students needs in connection with their IEP. I also use peer partners a lot in both my general elective dance classes as well as the classes with dance majors. |
