Additional Course Information
Acoustic management of the classroom includes the appropriate use of sound distribution systems. Learn how acoustic accessibility technology and listening skills blend to enhance “adequate yearly progress – AYP” for students.
Children in school often are faced with classrooms that are not acoustically acceptable. Noisy classroom environments can cause stress and interfere with the ability to adequately learn instructional material. Sound field amplification systems are the key to reaching children with the most understandable and clearest form of sound.
This presentation will explain how children “learn” to hear, and how acoustics affect their academic ability. Information will be presented about the pivotal role of auditory brain growth in the development of spoken communication, reading, and academic skills in children with typical hearing as well as in children with hearing and processing problems. Neurological maturation and neural plasticity of the auditory system will be discussed. The necessity of accessing, stimulating, and “growing” critical auditory brain centers in home and school environments will be featured along with take-home suggestions for participants. Sound field amplification technology will be featured as related to Federal Laws.
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) requires schools to show adequate yearly progress (AYP) toward meeting the goal of 100% proficiency in reading and math for all students in third through eighth grades by 2012. By improving the signal-to-noise ratio and enhancing acoustic accessibility, sound field technology can provide the evidence-based outcome needed for school districts to be in compliance with NCLB.
Course Objectives
- Participants will be able to describe auditory brain development as the foundation for listening, language and literacy.
- Participants will be able to discuss how to manage the signal-to-noise ratio in a learning environment as a basis for literacy development.
- Participants will be able to discuss the relationship of sound field systems to “No Child Left Behind” legislation.
