My Project

The headphones will help create a focused and personalized learning experience for each student. With access to digital platforms /apps, students can engage in activities tailored to their unique needs. Headphones will allow them to concentrate on lessons without distractions, especially during literacy tasks like Lexia, practicing phonics, or engaging with text-to-speech tools. For students with exceptionalities, the headphones will enhance accessibility and ensure they can keep up with the curriculum.

The primary goal is to provide a quiet, distraction-free learning environment where all students can thrive.

By integrating headphones into daily instruction, I aim to improve literacy and language skills through interactive audio tools.

I also want to support individualized learning paths for students at different proficiency levels, foster focus and independence in completing tasks, and ensure that students with exceptionalities have the resources they need to succeed.

My students are an incredible group of diverse learners with unique strengths and challenges. They are curious, resilient, and eager to grow academically. Many are passionate about exploring technology and enjoy hands-on, interactive learning experiences. Additionally, some of my students have exceptional learning needs; whether they are gifted and seeking enrichment opportunities or have learning differences requiring specialized tools to unlock their full potential. Their energy, determination, and love of learning make them truly special, and they deserve the best resources to help them shine.
