Diverse Learners in the Art Room


Teaching in a classroom of diverse learners is a challenge educators will experience throughout their career. It is necessary to evaluate lesson plans and determine effective accommodations for students that are experiencing difficulties. Asking students questions about what aspects of the lesson they are frustrated with and working with them through difficulties, will allow you to gain a better perspective on the issues.
Incorporating a variety of visual aids, verbal instructions, and tactile aspects into both your classroom organization and your lesson plans will provide students with several options for instruction and information. Simple accommodations such as larger or smaller work materials and classroom design can also make a big difference. Being aware of and reflective about what is working well for your students and maintaining flexibility will create an environment where students will experience success in the art room.
