Perfect marriage between universities and K12 public schools<\/strong><\/a> — from huffingtonpost.com by Dr. Rod Berger<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

I sat down with Dr. Jeanice Kerr Swift at this year\u2019s AASA<\/a> conference in New Orleans<\/a> to learn about the unique advantage of running a public school district that resides alongside one of our nation\u2019s most prominent universities. The University of Michigan<\/a> provides the district of Ann Arbor<\/a> with rich partnerships that lift the learning experiences of the children in the community. Kerr Swift is delighted to have the enthusiasm of not only the University but the business community in reaching out to the students of Ann Arbor.<\/p>\n

\n

The implementation of real world projects matches University of Michigan<\/a> scientists with teachers and students to enrich school learning environments. One example is the Woven Wind<\/a> program that provides real life wind turbine applications. Students learn, and teachers have their classes bolstered by the input of advanced experimentation. Project Lead the Way<\/a> is another example that is providing modules for classroom learning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to Jeanice Kerr Swift, technology should support and strengthen learning, not stand in the place of person-to-person engagement. Devices are there to serve and enhance, not replace teacher-student collaboration and critical thinking. Kerr Swift believes there is a balance of the \u201cCs\u201d to consider: collaboration, connection, and community. If all the \u201cCs\u201d are listening and working together, then a school district can thrive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jeanice Kerr Swift certainly makes the balance look easy and enviable in Ann Arbor<\/a> Michigan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
