Local Teacher Selected as Panelist for NBC Education Summit

Jeremiah Stieve Selected as Panelist for NBC Education Nation

Mr. Jeremiah Stieve, Middle School Social Studies teacher at Holly Academy, has been selected to be a panelist at Education Nation’s Teacher Town Hall this Saturday, March 23, 2013.  NBC Education Nation was started in September, 2010 as a year-round initiative to engage the country in a solutions-focused conversation about the state of education in America.  “As a passionate educator, I look forward to engaging in productive conversations with other educators about what is best for our students and the future of education”, replied Stieve.  “Having the opportunity to sit down with other professionals and discuss the best ways to do that is always powerful!” 

Stieve is one of ten teachers from around the state representing Michigan’s charter schools.  “Regardless of where teachers teach, I feel we all have a common mission,” says Stieve.  “We are charged with preparing our students for the future to the best of our ability.”  Stieve has been a teacher at Holly Academy for over 6 years and recently received his Master of Arts, Educational Leadership from Oakland University.
