My students need headphones to accompany their Dell computers so they can listen to podcasts, interviews, music, and videos that go with the media we use in class.

My Students
This is for an amazing group of 9th grade students in Cleveland, Ohio. One of the most racially and ethnically diverse groups in the city, these scholars celebrate their diversity and unique vantage point by sharing and investigating what it means to be an urban teenager today.
Our school is 100% free and reduced lunch site, serving a high need, diverse population that is focused on readiness for life post high school.
The mission of our school is to create a love of learning in all our scholars, creating a safe space for our teenagers to grow up in, so when they graduate they will be active citizens in their community and the world.
My Project
Part of what makes this school special is its use of mastery based grading and the ability students have to work at their own pace. This means students do not do 'busy work' or move on to the next project or idea without mastering the previous concept. All students in the class are working on the same unit at their own pace, so everyone is always doing something different than the person next to them. This helps with mastery, autonomy, and personalization of a lessons for all students.
Sharing points of of view and learning to be an active and investigative listener is crucial to success in today's world.
For my Social Justice and Current Events classes, we will be listening and exploring the worlds of others by using video clips, interviews, and podcasts of diverse people all over our city, country, and world. They will use these ideas they listen to in their own projects for class-connecting themselves to larger communities and ideas around them.
These headphones will assist my scholars by allowing them the opportunity to investigate people and ideas that are from all over the world, broadening their horizons and giving them the opportunity to listen to the lives and options of other people.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
