Headphones for ELL Students

Funded Dec 6, 2024

Thank you so much for your donation! Our classroom set of headphones has been a huge hit. The number one thing the students have commented on is the comfort of the headphones. Because they have noise canceling qualities, some students with special needs have chosen to wear them during independent work as well, simply to help them focus.

Now that I have a full class set of headphones, I am able to create assignments for class where students need to listen to something independently. This past week we started talking about feminism, and the students were able to listen to a podcast about feminism for kids and answer questions at their own pace, going back and relistening to parts of the podcast when necessary. While this may seem insignificant, it serves as standardized test prep and gives students more autonomy in their own learning.”
