Clearview Education Association
Gloucester County educator Tara Pridy from Clearview Regional High School District was awarded a $766 grant entitled Sensory-Optimized Science Learning Environment. This is an inclusive classroom improvement initiative supporting secondary students with disabilities in a science resource room at Clearview Regional High School. The project addresses sensory and logistical barriers that limit hands-on science instruction by installing soft fluorescent light covers and a countertop dishwasher for lab cleanup. These enhancements reduce sensory overstimulation for students with autism, improve visual access for students with visual impairments, and allow for more frequent, sustainable laboratory experiences. By increasing lab opportunities, improving focus and engagement, and reducing disposable waste, the project promotes equitable access, environmental responsibility, and meaningful scientific learning for students with diverse needs.
