The new school year is already well underway, and we hope it’s going great for you! If you’re a K-12 teacher, chances are that you have begun or are about to begin school testing to determine grade level proficiency, placement, areas of improvement, and more. One of the top challenges of being a K-12 educator can be administering these important tests while simultaneously teaching new concepts. After all, it can be hard to fit it all into one school day!
Fortunately, there is a good way to ensure that all students are tested without compromising the value and impact of your lessons, and it involves using school headphones. Thanks to their noise-canceling capabilities and how well they minimize background noise and distractions, headphones can help keep students on task and focused, whether they’re testing, listening to audiobooks, working on the computer, or any other multimedia activity.
Listed below are our top picks for the headsets for both in-person and remote learning, as well as for school testing for K-12 students.
