#VisitMe Bluechips Passion Project

HMS Year 5 Bluechip teachers, Jason Barthalow and Juliet Ammons share their passion project! This #VisitMe project encourages teachers to visit other teachers' classroom to be able to see how their peers conduct their classrooms and different teaching methods that they use. 

Teachers have loved being able to visit each other to see what works best in other classrooms. Some teachers with many years of service are "Host" classrooms, and new teachers can visit them to see their best practices. This is something that has become a valued and loved part of HMS for their teachers!

Middle School TV Programs

Hear from two exceptional GMSD teachers who are providing students the experience of running a television studio and participating as news anchors. Students rotate positions within Riverdale's RaiderTV and Houston Middle's MTV, so each student has the opportunity to practice as a news anchor, video editor, cameraman, and teleprompter operator. 

Students are able to gain skill in public speaking, leadership, camera work, and computer skills, and these TV programs can boost our students confidence to propel them further into this path at the high school level and beyond.
