When students can see information displayed in clear, engaging formats, whether a reading strategy, classroom rules, or a vocabulary map, they connect more deeply with the material and retain it more effectively. This technology empowers teachers to create customized resources that strengthen differentiated instruction and make classrooms more inclusive for students who benefit from visual cues and step‑by‑step explanations.\r\n\r\nWhat excites our students most is the opportunity provide constant visual reinforcement of classroom strategies, expectations, and reminders of upcoming school activities for both students and families. These large, vibrant displays help students stay focused, organized, and aware of the supports available to them throughout the school day. Seeing their learning tools and community events highlighted so prominently not only boosts engagement but also strengthens the connection between home and school.\r\n\r\nThis tool has been especially impactful for students who think visually or who sometimes struggle with traditional text‑heavy assignments. It supports critical thinking, enhances visual communication, and aligns with grant priorities focused on measurable impact and innovation. By bringing this resource to our school, donors would help us cultivate a culture of creativity and excellence that benefits every learner in our community.","fullyFundedDate":1763692211212,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-students-learning-through-vi/9648965/","projectTitle":"Empowering Students' Learning Through Visual Innovation","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Perez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10222877_orig.jpg?crop=757,758,x0,y103&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1760542183006","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10222877"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45878","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":545,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":49,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":48,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"12.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":48.3,"schoolId":45878,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Homestead Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Homestead Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/miami-dade-county-public-schools/homestead-middle-school/45878"}
