My name is Keely Mohn, and I am a 2018 graduate of Westminster College in New Wilmington, PA. During my time at Westminster, I studied music education and took additional coursework in special education after inspiration from a summer job. I am a big advocate for inclusion, so you will see a variety of lesson plans contained in my portfolio. As someone who has worked in both special education and music classrooms, I believe that I can bring many new ideas to my classroom, regardless of the subject that I will be teaching. I believe that everyone is capable of learning, but it is up to the teacher to work to discover the ways a student can learn best. I am very excited for the opportunity to share my work with you!

Sincerely, 


Keely Mohn

Included in this is also a philosophy of discipline, a choral contract, and a draft of a possible note I would send home to parents of students that are not following my classroom rules.]]> 2018-10-22 19:17:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mohn_keely/education_portfolio/wish/295660599 General Music Behavior Management Plan mohn_keely https://padlet.com/mohn_keely/education_portfolio/wish/295662590 This behavior management plan was created in my special education class on behavior management, so it includes music classroom rules that are more special education based, including a crisis plan.]]> 2018-10-22 19:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mohn_keely/education_portfolio/wish/295662590 Simple Classroom Rules (CARE) mohn_keely https://padlet.com/mohn_keely/education_portfolio/wish/295663063 Miss Mohn's Students
Control
Attitude
Respect
Effort

I like this simple set of rules because it is very brief, yet encompasses a lot of rules within them. A student should try their best to control themselves, have a positive attitude toward themselves and others, respect everyone, and always make an effort to achieve their goals.]]> 2018-10-22 19:22:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mohn_keely/education_portfolio/wish/295663063 Music Classroom Management mohn_keely https://padlet.com/mohn_keely/education_portfolio/wish/295706451 2018-10-22 21:23:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mohn_keely/education_portfolio/wish/295706451 Daily Communication Log mohn_keely https://padlet.com/mohn_keely/education_portfolio/wish/295706846 This is an example of a way that I would communicate with parents on a daily basis about their student with special needs. Depending on the situation of the student, in the future, I would probably add bathroom breaks to the communications as well.]]> 2018-10-22 21:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mohn_keely/education_portfolio/wish/295706846 Technology Integration mohn_keely https://padlet.com/mohn_keely/education_portfolio/wish/295707644 SmartBoard- I had lessons in my music classroom that allowed students to interact with the SmartBoard by drawing bar lines, identifying notes, and many other things. In the future, I would like to be able to integrate some of the SmartBoard activities created by Quaver Music to allow more interactive lessons for my students.

Chromebooks- In my student teaching placement, students in grades 4-12 were given Chromebooks. Students were able to use the Chrome Music Lab that allowed them to create melodies, songs, and rhythms with the use of visuals before learning music notation. The students could also independently listen to and identify rhythms with various games created for their Chromebooks. If I am at a school where technology is guaranteed for my students, I would like to incorporate SmartMusic for beginning instrumentalists to be able to do playing tests at home with fun accompaniments.]]> 2018-10-22 21:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mohn_keely/education_portfolio/wish/295707644 Technology Integration mohn_keely https://padlet.com/mohn_keely/education_portfolio/wish/295709326 SmartBoard- In my life skills practicum setting, the students used the SmartBoard at their daily morning meeting. This required the students to identify their name and place it on the tree. They also had to create appropriate outfits based on the weather outside and create the date. I also like the use of GoNoodle to allow my students to dance and exercise their brains ("brainercise") while doing physical movements.

Communication Devices- Students used varying types of communication devices in their classroom. Before I taught lessons, I would program the devices with words relevant to the lesson that I was teaching so the students could contribute. The students also had varying types of communication devices. For example, the students that were more advanced in reading had only words on their devices, or a keyboard to type the words on, while the others had the traditional devices with pictures.
