In addition to our Battle Creek Scholars at GVSU, our team has been working hard at home in Battle Creek! Our Early Career Teacher Program supports teachers who are new to the profession through mentorship, professional development, goal setting, community, and much more. You can find more information about this support program on our website.

Our Early Career Teachers have been hard at work in Battle Creek Public Schools! These incredible student art projects, guided by Valley View art teacher Bethany Karn, were created in honor of Black History Month. Each piece reflects meaningful history, identity, and expression—bringing important stories to life through art.

GVSU Teacher Interns Meghan Seelye, William Dunn, Avery Koperski, and Raechel Dunne completed their student teaching experience in Battle Creek Public Schools this semester and received their Teacher Education Pin.
These students have successfully completed the Teacher Education program and will continue on to serve students in K-12 education as teachers, some continuing in Battle Creek Public Schools. We are so proud of your hard work and achievement! Thank you for all you do for our students!
