I enjoyed my experience getting to know students and the community through community engagement projects and attending community events at the school I worked at (Everett High School). Overall, I learned a lot through this experience in the Lansing School District and wouldn't trade it for the world!
What I wish was different
I wish that there was more of an emphasis on supporting students through sometimes challenging circumstances, especially with an emphasis on listening to student and community voices for input on how to make improvements to systemic issues.
Advice
I would recommend building connections with students and colleagues. Building relationships helps to fortify a community and builds resilience!
