School of Education
creates new training
program based off
medical residencies
The University of Michigan
School of Education is partnering
with the Detroit Public Schools
Community District to open a
new high school located on the
Marygrove College campus. Ninth
graders will begin at the school in
fall, adding a new ninth grade class
yearly until the school is full.
According to an email from
Chrystal Wilson, DPSCD assistant
superintendent of communications
and marketing, the school will
be social justice themed and
have an emphasis on developing
critical
thinking.
The
school,
officially called The School @
Marygrove, will also have a focus
in engineering.
“Operated by Detroit Public
Schools
Community
District
(DPSCD), the new social justice-
themed public school has been
designed
to
develop
critical
thinkers and community-minded
citizens who have the skills and
knowledge to be makers and
leaders creating a more just and
equitable future,” Wilson wrote.
“DPSCD and the University of
Michigan School of Education
have co-developed a project- and
place-based
engineering
and
design thinking curriculum that
will empower students to identify,
collaborate and solve complex
problems found in our city and in
our world.”
Education
senior
Hannah
Whitman said social justice is a
pillar of her teacher preparation
coursework.
She
said
it
is
important for both students and
teachers to understand why social
justice is important in society and
for educators to teach with social
justice in mind.
“It’s so important for students to
have the ability to be an advocate,
not only for themselves, but for
people in their community or people
around the world,” Whitman said.
“Teaching that as young as high
school or even younger is really
empowering for them.”
Marygrove’s
Liberal
Arts
Building is undergoing renovations
throughout the summer and will
be ready for students in September,
Wilson wrote. Though Marygrove
is set to close its doors in December
because of declining enrollment
and financial struggles, Wilson
wrote that this is not expected to
impact the new school.
The
Kresge
Foundation,
a
private foundation working to
expand
opportunities
through
grants and investments, is also
involved in opening the school.The
Foundation did not respond to The
Daily’s request for comment.
