Students from Shiawassee-area high schools recently visited the University of Michigan-Flint for an exciting glimpse into what a future in education could look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Panel<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The day kicked off with an immersive academic experience, with one group sitting in on assistant professor of education<\/a> Karen Caldwell’s Teaching History & Geography in the Elementary Grades<\/em> course while the other explored campus, including a stop at the Early Childhood Development Center<\/a>. The two groups then reunited on the third floor of the University Center for lunch together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The afternoon brought one of the day’s highlights: a candid panel discussion in the Kiva with current UM-Flint Field Teaching and Outreach students. Six education students \u2014 Ellie Johnston, Jailyn Taylor, Ireland Vorhies, Samantha Hathon, Laina Owen, and Margaret Orwig \u2014 shared their firsthand experiences, answering questions and offering a student’s perspective on the journey to becoming a teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit wrapped up with closing remarks from UM-Flint faculty and staff, who walked students through the Education program, field placement opportunities, the Michigan Future Educator Fellowship and its stipend, and resources available to help students thrive on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a wonderful day connecting the next generation of educators with the University of Michigan-Flint community. Here are photos of the students during their visit to Karen’s class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
