My Project

I absolutely love working with my community of students but working in a low income school has its challenges. One of the challenges is not having the proper equipment. If I can get each of my students headphones for testing, I think we will see an improvement in scores! Students need a quiet environment which the headphones would provide. However, many students that speak English as a second language need parts of the test read to them which is another very important reason why my students would benefit from using headphones. I adore my students and they deserve the same technology as students in other schools! My students are amazing and I'd love to help them feel more focused during testing by having headphones available.
