We are the first dual language middle school program in our district and teach students throughout the day in both Spanish and English! We are proud to foster a learning environment for emergent bilingual students through project based learning. In order to support our projects and learning, we seek better quality headsets that include microphones. With a strong focus on accessibility, these headsets will be used to support listening to texts through audio books, along with learning tools including speech to text where students can dictate their thoughts, and text to speech, where they can listen to text read back to them. We strive to create a learning environment where all of our students can contribute their thoughts and ideas, and to normalize tools that remove potential barriers to learning, and these headsets would be essential to making this possible. These headsets would also be important for student projects, including podcasts and audio series that they will create this school year. It also supports them in engaging with external audio sources that provide them with greater exposure to multiple perspectives as we dive into our topics for the school year. Students will have the chance to listen to speakers and ideas that reflect their own experiences, as well as experiences that differ from their own. This year we will be exploring themes that include treasuring history and technology. Please support our students with this project!
