The Hall Middle Model
Identify, Recruit, Train, Deploy

At Hall Middle we realized that we were surrounded by students with incredible technical skills. The challenge was how could we leverage that knowledge into a winning formula. Our road to building a tech support team that would become teacher trainers looked like this:
  • Identify "technologists" in 6th grade
  • Create clubs and lunchtime activities
  • Run an advisory period Mouse Squad group
  • Introduce Mouse Squad as a full year course
  • Provide opportunities for students to create support materials for teachers to use in their own classrooms.
  • Provide opportunities for students to train students and teachers
