Kiana Stringfield comes to UPSM!

Teaching Fellow and my Industrial & Operations classmate Kiana "KiKi" Stringfield joined me at UPSM a couple of weeks ago.  She came to class interested in learning more about the great learning environment and students.   I was so happy that she could join me.  During her visit she met with the superintendent Margaret to learn more about this unique program and interacted with teachers and students.  She expressed to me that she was extremely impressed with the school.  To learn more about KiKi's experiences please visit her blog: http://ypsdtf-kstring.blogspot.com/.

In my Instructional Leadership class I have also discussed my experiences at UPSM.  The students in this education course are planning on becoming principles or district leaders.  They have also expressed interest in visiting UPSM.  Hopefully we will be able to get them there to see a learning environment that works!

I am also planning a field trip for the students to come to U of M's design expo.  We are planning on the student's doing an activity and/or visiting a lab.  We plan to give them the full U of M experience so that these future engineers can better learn what we do and why they should come to University of Michigan (Go Blue!);). 

I am utilizing my organizational design skills to help students develop clubs at the school.  I created a survey to determine student's interest in certain clubs.  I can't wait to help the students get their first club off the ground!  I will keep you all updated on our progress.

Have a great weekend!
