Earbuds for Equitable Testing

Help me give my students earbuds for testing. Reading and writing standardized tests require headphones or earbuds, and our students with testing accommodations will also need them for math, science, and history tests as well!

My Students

Our students are a diverse group of high schoolers living in Clay County, Florida. Our administration and staff promote respect, scholarship, and honor as the standards for our students.

Our student body is approximately 1500 9th-12th graders, with more than half of our students coming from low-income households.

We strive to offer all students a well-rounded education plus opportunities to participate in a variety of clubs and sports on campus.

My Project

As the majority of standardized testing moves from pencil & paper to computer screens, a need arises for every student to own and bring a set of earbuds or headphones. Reading and Writing tests require all students to listen to passages. Clearly, without the use of earbuds, this would be a catastrophe!

The purpose of this project is to purchase approximately 800 compatible pairs of earbuds (enough for half of our population) to be used for testing.

While many of our students do own earbuds and remember to bring them to school on testing days, we are always short of earbuds or headphones for students who need them. Not only that, many of our students need accommodations during testing and may require earbuds for testing in other subjects, such as math, science, and history.

Help us remove one stressor from our students' plates as they face state testing!
