Setting instructional outcomes (value, sequence and alignment, clarity,balance, suitability for diverse learners)
Philosophy of Curriculum Planning for beginning level classes: -based on state standards -students need basic design skills, vocabulary, and content information -1st quarter: emphasis on skills building and vocabulary -2ns quarter: emphasis on art history and art styles
Some modifications I use: -Extended time -"Chunking" content and assignments -Fewer choices and/or provide a selection of choices -Work with peers -Frequent checkpoints -student
repeat directions to check for understanding -teacher initiated
daily assignment sheet -teacher notes photocopied -highlighted text visual presentation -assignments/directions read and written -modified
assignment format -repetition, review, summarize -behavior contract -multiple test
sessions/ combine 2+ project skills/concepts to one -multi-sensory
presentation -oral test
responses -paired oral and
written instruction -preferential
seating
