Help me give my students a brand new pair of headphones for school!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Maffeo's classroom raised $500
This project is fully funded
My Students
I currently teach middle school social studies. My students are seventh graders in an ICT setting. That means there are lots of different kinds of learners in one classroom together.
They are the most welcoming, inquisitive, and creative bunch I know.
My Project
I am requesting brand new headphones for our school! Teaching history, we look at a lot of primary and secondary sources. Videos and audio clips are a great way to teach a complex topic. They're informative and entertaining for the students, which helps them stay engaged in the lesson for much longer.
We have tried this year to have students bring in headphones or watch videos without it, and it is just chaos.
There's just too much sound happening for any student to focus on that day's lesson. Students will use these headphones to help them focus on the online content they are exploring. This would really help my students focus and learn this year.
More than three‑quarters of 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
