My Students
My students are part of a restricted 12:1:1 setting due to their severe social/emotional disabilities and academic delays.
All of my students live in Brooklyn, NY with low-income families, in shelters, or with foster families.
My students' home lives are extremely difficult; they display very little trust toward their peers and adults. The abuse and neglect that these children have faced in their life is something no child, or human being, should be exposed to. These teens come to school because it is where they feel "at home." Our school is a warm environment that welcomes all students, regardless of disability.
My Project
In today's times of technological advancements, my students utilize the computer throughout the day to enhance their classroom learning experiences. Students are able to explore space, investigate plants and animals, and watch/listen to educational videos using our online curriculum. Many of my students are auditory learners, however they are easily distracted and need headphones to assist in improving their listening skills.
By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
Having a set of headphones for each student will allow the students to focus on these programs/online lessons while limiting the noise around them.
More than three‑quarters 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
