This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
This project is to ensure that students have access to headphones with microphones. The students will use these headphones in multiple classes including mathematics, English language arts, social studies, and science. Our students use different platforms such as Readworks and Discovery Education in English language arts, social studies and science. We use these websites to maximize engagement because they allow for differentiation. Also, both of these learning websites have options for the texts to be read aloud. In math class, websites such as I-ready, Khan Academy, and Freckle are used regularly. These websites allow for differentiation and also read texts aloud and play videos. The headphones allow students to hear what is being mentioned in any of these learning platforms. Unfortunately, we do not have enough headphones to ensure all my students have access to hear the videos and listen to the passages clearly.
These headphones will maximize engagement, thusly heightening growth sharply.
Many of my students will benefit greatly from having access to headphones. In addition, due to COVID, many of my students are quarantined for weeks at a time. Therefore, I teach hybrid lessons via Zoom. In addition, I want to have great sound quality to ensure maximum comprehension by my students. I am also requesting Dre Beats earphones to ensure there is a decrease in miscommunication.
In sum, my students will be able to score better on these platforms with headphones allowing to hear the audio much clearer.
