SOE Alumna Wins Teacher of the Year Award

As reported in a recent Detroit Free Press article, Jennifer Bargardi has been selected as Teacher of the Year for 2012-2013 by the Educational Achievement Authority.

Ms. Bargardi is a double alumna of the UM-Dearborn School of Education. She was initially certified as a science teacher after completing our Post-Baccalaureate Secondary Teaching Program, and she is a recent graduate of our Master of Science in Science Education program. Currently on the staff at Mumford High School in Detroit, Jennifer teaches Biology and Anatomy, and she also serves as chair of the science department and senior class advisor.

This is not Jennifer's first recognition for excellence. In 2012 she was a regional winner and a national finalist in the Shell Science Lab Challenge, a competition among science teachers sponsored by the Shell Oil Company and administered by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) to encourage and recognize innovation in to deliver high quality lab experiences with limited school and laboratory resources.

Please join me in congratulating Jennifer Bargardi on this splendid recognition of her outstanding educational efforts on behalf of her students!
