Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

Every year I struggle to keep the low quality headphones in tact. With over 100 students using them they are often tangled or by the end of the year, fall apart. I am investing in class set of headphones that will be more durable and assigned to each student for that class. I feel thing will ensure the longevity of the equipment.

I intend to use these materials for students to work on independent activities that require them to watch tutorials and work at their own pace.

They will also be useful for students who struggle in faster paced classes and they can look back on the materials in their own time.
