Elective subjects, especially those in visual arts, have historically lacked adapted resources or lessons to provide meaningful instruction for ECE Students. While the students are not tested on Art or other electives at the state level, the lack of adapted resources results in unintentional segregation. I have found that ECE students attending mainstream "elective" classes, such as art, are often separated from the rest of their peers and given less meaningful busy work because of a lack of adequate resources for the subject area.
My goal is to adapt and modify art lessons to allow students with Special Needs to both succeed and learn appropriately alongside their peers.
