Help me give my students the items other teachers have suggested as helpful in their classrooms such as focused lighting and a doorbell chime to signal time-up with the various activities we transition between during the day.
Our school has an enrollment of more than 1,500 students of whom 34% are economically disadvantaged. We have a balance of 52% males and 48% females with our minority population at 52%. We have 75% of our students on free or reduced-price lunch.
Our school is in a suburban area.
It was built in 1970 and has a strong school spirit and ties to the community. Our school has an unusual percentage of teachers who graduated from here and returned later to teach. I jokingly warn the new ninth graders about drinking the water! Our school community is a close-knit group that looks out for each other. Thank you for considering my project for funding to help us.
My Project
Thank you for considering my project and taking the time to read about the benefit in my classroom with these resources. I often look to other teachers for support and suggestions to improve my instruction and environment. This year I felt the need to update my classroom as I move into a higher grade level in secondary teaching for the 2021-22 school year.
Various sources of lighting in the classroom is preferred by students, such as desktop lighting for focused reading and writing, as well as group lighting during discussion and instruction, rather than overhead fluorescent lighting only.
This provides a more welcoming classroom that helps prevent eye strain. Many teachers recommend this addition to the classrooms. Also, recommended as helpful in the classroom is a pleasant sounding timer to signal the end of on activity and the start of another rather than the teacher shouting or reminding the students. Thank you for helping me provide these additions to my classroom. :)
