How Project Benefits Students

Impact:

The implementation of sound field amplification systems will significantly benefit our students with special education needs by:

1. Enhancing Accessibility: Students with hearing impairments or auditory processing difficulties will have equal access to classroom instruction, ensuring that they do not miss important information or fall behind academically.

2. Increasing Engagement: By amplifying the teacher's voice, we aim to improve student engagement and active participation in classroom discussions, leading to enhanced learning outcomes.

3. Supporting Inclusive Education: The sound field amplification systems will create an inclusive learning environment where all students can fully participate and thrive, regardless of their individual learning needs.

4. Addressing Equity: As an under-resourced Title 1 school, we face inequities in educational resources. This grant will bridge the resource gap and provide equal opportunities for all our students, regardless of their socio-economic background. 

 

Expected Outcome(s)

Increased classroom participation, improved behaviors, higher reading proficiency scores for students impacted by the project.
