In this new approach, TCP students are spending\u00a0more time connecting with diverse community populations through community- and school-based fieldwork and projects.<\/p>\n<p>Tiffini Hurley, a current TCP candidate\u00a0at UM-Flint, is student teaching at Bendle High School where her senior class is reading the novel\u00a0<em>The Jungle\u00a0<\/em>by Upton Sinclair. The book explores struggles of the working class in industrialized cities, including living conditions\u00a0and\u00a0work environments. To help her students better connect with the content and themes of the book, Hurley organized a day of activities outside of the classroom focused on &#8220;Understanding the Flint Water Crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked about her goals for the day, Hurley said, &#8220;I hoped that the students would gain perspective on what a\u00a0community really looks like in times of hardship and what the need\u00a0actually is in Flint. By doing this they can enact change in the world\u00a0around them. Especially since they are about to graduate, I want to\u00a0send them into the world with a sense of empowerment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Danielle De La Mare, one of Hurley&#8217;s TCP faculty members at UM-Flint, noted how\u00a0thrilled she is that the place-based model is already a part of her student&#8217;s teaching process: &#8220;The work Tiffini has done with her students is nothing short of amazing! Few teachers, let alone student teachers, take on projects this extensive. Hopefully our new place-based teacher education program will inspire more of this in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Suzanne Knight, another TCP faculty member, added, &#8220;Tiffini is our first teacher candidate to do a full place-based project during student teaching. However, these projects are also largely collaborative. It took the efforts of her mentor teacher; two other teachers at Bendle High School (one English, one science); and Leyla Sanker and others in University Outreach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1743\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1743\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/2016\/03\/22\/bendlevisit\/casblog_students\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1743\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1743\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/03\/casblog_students-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Bendle High School students cross campus to sessions focused on understanding the Flint water crisis.\" width=\"430\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/03\/casblog_students-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/03\/casblog_students-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/03\/casblog_students-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1743\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bendle High School students walk across campus to sessions focused on understanding the Flint water crisis.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Bendle students arrived at the Northbank Center in downtown Flint early on Friday, March 18. As a full group they listened to Jenny McArdle of the United Way of Genesee County discuss community needs and volunteer efforts as they related to the\u00a0water crisis response. The high schoolers then split into three groups, organized by topic: Health and Human Impacts, Economic Impacts, and Environment and Infrastructure.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Health and Human Impacts<\/h3>\n<p>The first group was led by Ms. Erin Brown from Bendle and Kye Bright of UM-Flint&#8217;s University Outreach and AmeriCorps.

I want to really thank Dr. Knight for pushing me, Dr. De La\u00a0Mare for teaching me that being in the moment is more valuable than\u00a0many things, and the teachers at Bendle High School for helping\u00a0support me in the crazy journey. When we returned to the school there\u00a0were students coming up to me and thanking me. I am so flattered and\u00a0humbled by the vulnerability the students have shown, how they&#8217;ve\u00a0embraced this process, and the young men and women I see them\u00a0becoming.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1755\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1755\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/2016\/03\/22\/bendlevisit\/bendlestudent1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1755\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1755\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/cas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/03\/bendlestudent1-1024x815.jpeg\" alt=\"A Bendle High School student poses in downtown Flint during a class visit to &quot;Understand the Flint Water Crisis&quot;\" width=\"430\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/03\/bendlestudent1-1024x815.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.umflint.edu\/case\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/03\/bendlestudent1-300x239.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1755\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Bendle High School student poses in downtown Flint during a class visit aimed at\u00a0&#8220;Understanding the Flint Water Crisis&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For more information on place-based education at UM-Flint, contact a member of the Secondary Teacher Certificate Program by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/education\/secondary-tcp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visiting their website<\/a>.
