My Project

I will use the headphones Imagine Language online intervention. Students need to hear sounds, words, pictures, reading etc. 20/26 students in my class are English Language Learners and we are a Title I funded school, which means we the majority of the population at our school fall in the low economic status. It is important and one tool that could make a huge difference. We also have an intervention called Imagine Math. Students are placed on certain "Pathways," so that they are learning at their level. Teachers can track and provide assistance to students who are struggling in certain areas.

My goal is for students to be able to use the headphones to hear the online based interventions on their devices.

My students come from all over the world and speak various languages. The headphones will allow students to focus on the skills they need at their individual levels.
