Many children with special needs spend at least part of the school day in special education classrooms, where they receive special instruction, sometimes quite didactic, adapted to their unique needs (Hendrick & and Weissman, 2007). The open-endedness and process orientation of art can serve as a reprieve from the highly focused tasks often used in special education. Imagine that you are in an early childhood education setting, and you are the lead art teacher. Using this information and support and guidance from Lesson 3, determine how you would create a curriculum in art that accommodates diverse learners.

 

Part 1: Explain why it is important to have a curriculum in art that accommodates diverse learners.

 

Part 2: Provide an example of an activity for children with each of the following:

 

Emotional and intellectual challenges

Visual impairments

Hearing impairments

Orthopedic impairments

You may use the ideas in the textbook as springboards, but do not copy them. Come up with ideas of your own that show you understand the needs of the child with that particular challenge or impairment.

Art-based centers are inviting, self-contained spaces where children engage in creative activities, and are appropriate for every child. Each requires a clear purpose, a range of materials and activities, and a means of assessment or evaluation. While centers must take into account individual needs, interests, and levels of learning, there are unique considerations for children at different ages. As an early childhood teacher, put on your centers-based thinking cap to complete the follow parts of this assignment. You will want to refer back to Lesson 7 for support and guidance.

 

Part 1: Summarize how arts-based centers nurture children’s creative expression.

 

Part 2: Discuss how teachers must adapt arts-based centers for different age levels from toddlers to fourth graders.

 

Part 3: Discuss techniques teachers can use to manage a center-based environment in the creative classroom.
