The Need to Be Focused

Help me give my students 2 pocket folders and privacy folders to use during testing. It is very distracting when you are testing and there are so many elements that cause distraction. This tool will be a great help when keeping focus.

My Project

My students have very peculiar desks in the classroom environment which are not conducive to testing. Can you imagine testing and people are constantly facing you or making small movements that draw your attention to it? Well, that is what my students will be facing when they are testing.

Please help my students get the opportunity to have testing shields so that they can have their own privacy and feel more focused when getting their appropriate tasks done.

All our work will not be collaborative, so students will have the ability to work independently and I will be able to get accurate information from students' data.
