Help me give my students the opportunity to listen and to be heard. Classroom amplification is a way for the teacher's voice to be heard so that students can hear clearly and more likely to participate in discussions.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students range from age 4 to 12. They are the most caring, respectful, busy, smart, funny, inquisitive bunch of kids. They keep me on my toes daily. Most of my students reside in the public housing development that borders our school. An increasing amount of students reside in homeless shelters or other temporary housing. We also have a large population of students who are new to the country.
They come to us with many different needs and challenges.
I see most of the students in the school, including students who have physical and learning disabilities. All students are encouraged to learn and are held to the same standard, I just have to reach them in many different ways.
One thing they all have in common is that they love coming into the Computer Lab! I try to incorporate all subject areas and collaborate with classroom teachers so the children stay excited while learning.
My Project
Classroom amplification is the idea of using technology to make sure your instruction is heard clearly throughout the classroom. It sounds simple, but when the teacher’s voice is heard, the students learn. And when students can hear clearly, they are more likely to participate in classroom discussion, to think critically about a topic and to gain comprehension. When using this system, my students will be able to hear clearly so that they can learn to grow essential listening skills in an environment that meets their unique needs.
Amplification systems are particularly effective for children with special learning needs.
One of the main roadblocks for kids with dyslexia and other auditory processing disorders is their inability to sound out words. Part of the reason they have trouble sounding out words is because they’ve never heard them clearly enough to know what sound each letter makes. Classroom amplification systems help these children hear better and improve their understanding.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
