- Mighty Mustangs - The after school Mighty Mustangs math program will continue next year. Preliminary plans are that program will run as a support for students who need additional math support to achieve grade level outcomes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from the end of school until 5:45 p.m. We look forward to working with the University of Michigan School of Education faculty and students in October and November and following that the program will continue with Mitchell teachers.
- Responsive Classroom - This will be a new initiative to Mitchell School and will focus on behaviors needed to best learn at school. We'll look forward to sharing more about this as the school year begins.
- Michigan Interns - Mitchell School will welcome seven interns to the school this fall who will be a part of the staff for the entire school year. This number of interns at Mitchell is unprecedented! Their presence and expertise will be a welcome addition to teaching and learning for 2011-12.
- Partnership Kick-Off - We hope to host the Mitchell and Scarlett communities in late summer for a partnership kick-off celebration.
- "Managing To Teach" and "Literacy Methods" - UM classes being taught at Mitchell School and supported by UM faculty and Mitchell staff.
- Several other developing activities - There are four other activities that are in the planning stages which all will have positive effects for Mitchell teachers, students and/or families. As these activities become more defined, I will certainly share.
Also in case you haven't seen it, the Ann Arbor Public Schools website about the partnership may be informative to you: http://www.a2schools.org/aaps/academics/mitchell-scarlett-um_proposal
