The laptop has allowed me to create differentiated and personalized materials, including modified assignments, visual supports, translated resources, and activities designed to meet students at their individual academic levels.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have also been especially helpful for students who benefit from audio support, read-aloud accommodations, and reduced distractions. Students can listen to instructional materials, work at their own pace, and focus more independently without disrupting their classmates.\r\n\r\nThese resources have helped me create a more accessible and inclusive classroom where students with different learning needs can participate more confidently and successfully. Most importantly, this project has provided my students with additional tools to become more independent learners and feel successful in the classroom. I am incredibly grateful to the donors who made these resources possible for my students.","fullyFundedDate":1783343286078,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-students-thrive-with-technology/10328034/","projectTitle":"Help My Students Thrive with Technology That Supports Their Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dominguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10527358"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_218","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":302,"numTeachers":33,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":36,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":53,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"9.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.4,"schoolId":218,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wadleigh Performing Arts High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wadleigh Performing Arts High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/wadleigh-performing-arts-high-school/218"}
