Full Transcript - Episode 3 - The Ideal School
Summary:
In this episode, Megan Roper, an art teacher at the Ideal School in Manhattan, New York City discusses how inclusion is central to her work. The Ideal School is an independent inclusion school that was founded by parents of children with disabilities with dreams of creating inclusive education for all. This small school consists of students with disabilities achieving education goals alongside peers of all abilities. Teachers such as Megan rely on a method known as the choice-based method. This method assumes children as the artist. The educator provides them with the necessary tools to build an art design and the student uses their own imagination to create their WOW (wonderful, original work) projects. When children are viewed as the central innovators, projects are valued more by the entire class despite different capabilities. In the same token, digital accessibility focuses all users as the central part of design. Tune in to listen to an inspiring disability advocate and an amazing art teacher talk about her passion and transition to remote learning while working endlessly to provide equal access for all students.
