Case Study #9: Students With Special Needs
My solution was to use my standard lessons and to expect all students to work to the best of their abilities. The Down's Syndrome kids had never been allowed to take an art class before but they surpassed all my expectations. The most amazing thing to me was that they were able to draw recognizeable still lifes from actual objects.
The lesson I learned from this experience is that having high expectations for all students is important and that we should never assume that students cannot perform to the best of their abilities.
