My Students
I am an administrator and supervise 3 programs for high school and transition (age 18-21) students. Our transition teachers focus their instruction on the three pillars of transition. Independent Living, Career & Employment, and Post-Secondary Education. My students all receive special education services for a variety of different disabilities.
My students need to be able to connect with their peers online and in-person to appropriately build the skills they are working on, and to meet their social & emotional learning needs.
The global pandemic has forced our district to think of innovative ways to deliver education to our students. Currently, our students in a Hybrid model where only half of the students are in the building on any given day. This makes it difficult to hold meaningful conversations with peers across online and in-person learning at the same time.
My Project
Meaningful discussion and the ability to clearly communicate throughout a classroom are core to good instruction. With half of our students attending school from their home, and the other half of the students in-person we need help in supporting the meaningful discussions that happen every day. Currently, students in school can see their peers that are at home via the monitor at the front of the classroom, however, a regular compute microphone will pick up the classroom conversation clearly.
These Jabra speakers pick up the dialogue of students throughout the entire classroom, enabling a classroom-wide discussion whether at home or at school.
In addition to seeing their peers on the monitor at the front of the classroom, and students will also be able to talk and hear their peers from wherever their learning space is in the classroom.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
