My Project

In a high school classroom, having the right tools and systems in place can make a world of difference—for both teaching and learning. This project will equip my students with the materials they need to stay engaged and my classroom with the organization it needs to run smoothly.

A class set of headphones will allow students to focus during digital lessons, independent research, and learning activities that require sound, especially important in a shared, busy space.

Easel board paper and dry erase markers will support collaborative learning, group brainstorming, and visual instruction. Table caddies will help keep supplies easily accessible and organized for student groups, while storage cubes will give us a neat, efficient way to manage materials and reduce clutter.

Together, these items will help create a more focused, organized, and student-centered learning environment where every learner has what they need to succeed.
