Two SOE Students Chosen to Attend Prestigious Conference

The Network of Michigan Educators is an organization of teachers and educational leaders in the state who have achieved special recognition, such as receiving state recognition as Teacher of the Year, Principal of the Year, or Superintendent of the Year, or national awards, such as the Milliken National Educator of the Year, National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification, the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, or selection as an NSF Einstein Fellow.

The Network of Michigan Educators (NME) aims to improve teaching and learning in Michigan by connecting recognized educators as a means of helping inform their practice. The organization also seeks to inform the state's education policy and research communities. The organization holds an annual conference that gives participants access to professional sessions designed to sharpen their teaching and leadership skills even further.

A select group of individuals preparing to become teachers in Michigan is invited to participate in the NME annual conference. This year we are pleased that two UM-Dearborn students have been selected for participation in this year’s conference to be held in Lansing on December 13-14.

The students selected to represent UM-Dearborn are Hannah Greaves and Marwa Hachem. Hannah is pursuing secondary school certification through a Master of Arts in Teaching degree with a major in English and minors in Spanish and English as a Second Language (ESL). Marwa is pursuing elementary school certification through a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Science Studies and a minor in English as a Second Language (ESL).

Please join me in congratulating these outstanding students on being selected for this very special opportunity to network and learn with outstanding professional educators in Michigan!
