Your generosity has already made a meaningful difference in how my students learn and engage with science. With these headphones, students can now focus more deeply during instructional videos, virtual labs, simulations, and independent practice without distractions from a busy classroom environment.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have been especially impactful for students who need additional support, including multilingual learners and students with IEPs. Being able to replay instructions, slow down videos, or listen more closely has increased their confidence and independence. Students are more willing to try challenging tasks because they feel supported and less overwhelmed. Many have shared how much they enjoy having their own space to learn, and they take great pride in using the new equipment responsibly.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most is that the headphones make learning feel more personalized and professional, like real scientists using real tools. Because of you, my students are more focused, engaged, and empowered in our science classroom. Thank you for investing in their learning and helping create an environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1758817712100,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-my-science-classroom/9753586/","projectTitle":"Headphones for My Science Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Melissa Laureigh","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7397125"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_81648","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":604,"numTeachers":44,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":40,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":57,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":52.6,"schoolId":81648,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Asbury Park High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Asbury Park High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/asbury-park-school-district/asbury-park-high-school/81648"}
