Funded Sep 27, 2023I want to take this time to say thank you for purchasing the headphones for my scholars. This was more than just a gift; it was a transformative experience for my classroom. There was a shift in the way classrooms were allocated this school year. Due to educational gaps because of the COVID-19 pandemic, many students are grade levels behind in reading. As a English Language Arts teacher, it was alarming for me to accept this fact.
This type of challenge afforded me the opportunity to be able to learn how to pivot and reach those students in unconventional ways. Students who did not fully benefit from whole class- grade level instruction, due to the educational gaps, were able to use the headphones in class to be able to learn on tutoring platforms during class to try to close those learning gaps. Also, all of my scholars were able to utilize the headphones during standardized testing this year. I'm am sure that this resource aided in their accomplishments on the tests.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Hill
