What the pandemic and remote teaching and learning made painfully apparent was just how vital technology is to student learning. It is no longer optional, but the interface for learning.
Thanks to support from AMP and the Power Up For Learning program, AEF was able to step in and address some of the most pressing needs, including purchasing headsets for 2,000 low-income students so they could more actively participate in Zoom lessons. Since schools opened up again last spring, AEF has purchased over 100 headsets to aid teachers in outdoor classrooms. In all, we have spent almost $30,000 in PUFL funds on these needs over the last year and continue to receive requests this Fall for support.
Thank you for your continued partnership with Power Up For Learning!
