My Project

As a teacher in a low-income school, my students are faced with many challenges both in and out of the classroom. Even though they face these challenges, I want to set each and every student up for success.

During the year, I have anywhere between twenty- eight and thirty-two amazing students in my classroom that deserve the best learning environment they can get.

After many years of use our class set of headphones are starting to no longer work. In our class we use headphones sometimes on a daily basis. Whether it be for a test being read to them, working on lessons specific to their learning needs in reading and/or math, or listening to a story being read to them. But, imagine hearing twenty-eight different things at one time. It becomes distracting and makes focusing extremely difficult.

These requested multipurpose headphones will allow my students to hear only their computer and focus on doing their best on the task at hand.

These headphones will also be used for multiple parts of our state testing. They will help us complete our listening section, but also take out the struggles of reading in the math areas by having the problems read to them. When English is not your first language or you are not reading at grade level, having a problem read to you can make the difference between success and failure.
