Holt Middle School

Jewell’s innovative teaching idea, “Library Innovation Stations,” is focused on providing students at Holt Middle School access to resources and knowledge that will allow them to create, collaborate and develop their ideas. Students involved in the program will be empowered with a culture of innovation, invention, and creativity while generating critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Jewell believes every student has an area of interest that they are passionate about, but many students go from class to class never getting to explore the areas of learning that interest them most. “Library Innovation Stations” is designed to allow students to pursue their individual learning passions, ultimately with the hopes of driving their engagement and motivation in the classroom.
