The class set of headphones has had a dramatic effect on students focus. It helps keep students engaged and on task. The big thing that I love about them is that it allows students to work at their own pace. In my Tech classes I have students who are extremely gifted and can create extremely complicated and crazy things and I also have students who have never designed or made anything before. By creating extra videos and having students listen with the headphones I can help give better support to students who are struggling.","fullyFundedDate":1742936227661,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-tech-ed/9029703/","projectTitle":"Headphones for Tech Ed","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Brzykcy","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9825003"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_21906","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1362,"numTeachers":109,"percentFrplEligible":15,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":90,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":33.8,"schoolId":21906,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Orchard Park High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Orchard Park High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/orchard-park-central-school-district/orchard-park-high-school/21906"}
