My school has recently been in a tough time of low test scores and low achievement. We are trying many things to close the achievement gaps for kids. One of the major ways we are working to close gaps is the use of our learning apps. These apps work to target the exact skills each kid needs on their learning path. \r\nThis project provided a class set of headphones so that students can use these targeted learning apps at their own pace and hear the instruction needed to be successful. These headphones have been used daily and students are making huge progress! It's been a game changer to have students working at their own pace on targeted skills while I am pulling small groups to reteach as well.","fullyFundedDate":1731537784805,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-intervention-time/8901919/","projectTitle":"Headphones for Intervention Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hickingbottom","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8447346"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_97433","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":526,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":46,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":64.7,"schoolId":97433,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Basswood Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Basswood Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/keller-independent-school-district/basswood-elementary-school/97433"}
