My Students
As a special education teacher, coach, and athletic director I try my best, on a daily basis, to meet all of my learners and athletes needs! I work at a Title I school, which mainly serves a majority population of minority students. We have a wide range of learners, from the exceptional children to the academically gifted. Our school was built in 1967 and has a long tradition of hard workers and community Ram pride! We have worked extremely hard the last few years trying to develop a learning environment both on the field, in the classroom, and now the new "HOMEroom" eLearning that promotes character, citizenship, and a healthy lifestyle, while building confidence and exceptional effort!
My Project
Learners with a Speech/Hearing, Behavioral, Learning, Sensory or Auditory Processing Disorders need noise canceling headphones!
The research shows that the effects of noise on performance and stress levels are well documented.
Benefits include silence, protecting your hearing, improved focus, and enhanced relaxation. The effects of noise are even more detrimental to performance in nonnative speakers. Lastly, children with special needs such as ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Auditory Processing Disorders, Sensory Processing Disorders, or Executive Function Deficits find extraneous noise to be highly distracting and anxiety provoking. Learners with any of these challenges often hear background noises most of us do not hear. Luckily, noise-canceling headphones provide relief to individuals who need increased silence or to those who desire it.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
