Many of the students primary students have issues with fine motor skill since they have yet to be identified for OT services or other services; some intermediate students that have recently moved to our school do not have documentation on services or modifications and accomodations needed. When teaching weaving, I modify the lesson to include three levels of mastery. Level one included five paper warps and six weft strips of paper. Warp and weft strips were two inches wide and contrasting colors. Level two they paper loom is limited to two inch warps, but the weft paper strips are one inch instead of two. Two colors are used for the weft strips in order for the student to identify if the weave pattern looks correct. Level three is based on one inch warps and one inch wefts, with a two color patten in weaving. Level four would be the same as level three but the student may use a more complex color pattern. Peer tutoring and peer coaching is helpful with students needing some assistance; however, for students needing intensive assistance, I use a small pull-out group or flexible grouping. |

Assessment of Learning

For intermediate students, I often assess with a notebook which requires the students to draw pictures and label with key terms the technique of art method taught, integrated instructional information, or key concepts. This is helpful for student with learning disabilities since it allow information to be broken down into simplified visual sketches and notations. Other methods I have used or these students will include breaking down the assessment into three sessions that coincide with each lesson in a sequence or series. |

Video clips are great way to give ample visual information in a short three minute segment for overview of lesson material or when wanting to show a clip demonstrating an art technique such as making a coil pot. If a student is struggling with a specific step, the clip can be replayed. It is also helpful for students that enter class late due or for students that missed a part of the lesson. |
