My Project

My project is designed to provide my students with the essential tools they need to be successful during online CDT and PSSA testing. These high-stakes assessments require students to work independently using calculators for math tasks and headphones to access audio features and minimize distractions.

Currently, my classroom does not have enough reliable calculators or headphones for every student.

This creates unnecessary stress during testing and can interfere with students’ ability to fully demonstrate what they know. By providing each student with access to their own calculator and headphones, I can ensure a fair, quiet, and focused testing environment.

These resources will not only support online testing but will also be used throughout the school year for math instruction, practice assessments, and digital learning programs. Most importantly, they will help my students feel prepared, confident, and supported during an important academic experience.

Thank you for helping create an equitable learning environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
