As the Title 1 Coordinator for J.D. Lever Elementary School, Christie Valenzuela and other staff members wanted to make sure that each student had the same opportunity to learn as everyone else. Located in rural Aiken County, South Carolina, the district decided that one way to meet students’ needs would be to install an amplification system in each classroom so that students seated near the back of the class could hear the teacher just as well as students near the front. “Through our research, we discovered that many schools who integrated this technology

saw increases in their state assessments,” Valenzuela said. “We reviewed many systems, but ultimately chose the Infrared Classroom Audio System from Califone as it brought the most return on our investment.” The school purchased 32 systems and mounted the two included array speakers on one of the classroom’s walls for maximum projection. Each teacher wears a microphone and students use the handheld microphone when asking questions or giving presentations (both mics can not be used at the same time). “The students really enjoy using the technology because they feel more important since their voice is being amplified and heard by the rest of the class. The teachers appreciate the amplification – not feeling strained at the end of the day,” Valenzuela said. Helping to meet the needs of all students, the amplification systems were most positively embraced by the parents
of those students with hearing impairments.In addition, the school’s speech teacher believes the systems have helped tremendously as they do not add to the classroom’s ambient noise level at all, allowing students to hear their teachers and lessons more clearly.
