Help me give my students the tools needed to learn at their own pace.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Whetzel's classroom raised $260
This project is fully funded
My Project
Children have different learning styles and learn at different paces, but all want to learn and be successful. As a high school teacher in a Title 1 school, I find that my students don’t just learn differently from one another, but enter high school with academic skills ranging from early elementary to above grade level.
To meet the needs of these students I am flipping my classroom, allowing students to listen to lessons and practice at manageable rates.
This change will allow me the time to work with small groups and individuals that need the extra support.
Individual learning requires individual resources. Students have laptops but need headphones to make this plan happen.
I am asking for your help to provide a classroom set of headphones.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
