Students are required to answer prompts orally, and the program grades them using those recorded responses. Prior to this project being funded, we were provided with only five headsets with microphones for the entire class. As a result, testing had to be done in small groups—which took up valuable instructional time—or students had to test without headphones. This created challenges, as the program often picked up responses from nearby students, leading to inaccurate results.\r\n\r\nI am also using this gift as an opportunity to teach responsibility to my students. The limited number of headsets previously provided by the school did not hold up well to frequent use by many students. With the new headphones, students were able to choose their preferred color, which gave them a sense of ownership and increased their motivation to care for their belongings.\r\n\r\nI am incredibly appreciative of your donation. The students are so excited to use the headphones and feel more engaged and confident while interacting with the testing program.","fullyFundedDate":1767113062821,"projectUrl":"project/testing-headphones/9700886/","projectTitle":"Testing Headphones","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nelson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10249935"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_68574","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":563,"numTeachers":70,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":5,"percentLatinx":82,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"8.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":62.8,"schoolId":68574,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Painted Sky Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Painted Sky Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/albuquerque-public-schools/painted-sky-elementary-school/68574"}
