Engagement and Motivation Through Music

My students need an iPod nano and Sony iPod dock clock.

Charlotte, NC Grades 9-12

My low performing students come form low income families and need music to uplift and enhance their learning environment.

The students at my school historically have 30% proficiency in Biology. We are implementing a new strategy aimed to motivate and inspire the children with music.

In order to fully implement the new learning strategy, music is a critical facet to the management of the classroom. Students will be cued with music, motivated, rewarded, and inspired by music in the classroom. Most of my learning activities and strategies are anchored in music. Therefore, we need an iPod and loading dock to fulfill our purpose. These kids can learn science and they're going to enjoy it too!

Your donation will ensure that these students will improve their state proficiencies in Biology. These kids deserve to be proud of where they graduate from- improving state proficiencies and student achievement will improve morale in the student body, the staff and community of our awesome school!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
