The district’s small size allows us to move quickly to embrace new technology. We have iPads in every elementary classroom. We have 1:1 chromebook sets at the high school level. Teachers communicate through Google docs and we are currently implementing a laptop program for teachers so teacher work stations are totally portable. Our high school assistant principal recently won a national award for technology leadership. Our national awards don’t end there. We have been recognized nationally as one of the “Best Communities for Music Education”. We have vocal music classes in K-12 and instrumental classes in 6-12 including several levels of band, marching band and guitar. In 2012, we launched a new K-12 Alternative Energy curriculum. We are concentrating on solar power at elementary, wind power at middle school, and bio-fuels at the high school. It’s exciting instruction, allowing students to get hands-on experience with solar panels, wind turbines, and equipment that makes bio-diesel fuel for our bus fleet! These are the types of 21st century skills that will give New Haven students academic and career advantages. And, we don’t just teach alternative energy, we live it. Half our bus fleet is powered by propane. We have also entered into a program that will revolutionize the high school experience for our students. We have expanded the high school day to make it possible for students to earn both a diploma and Associate’s Degree in four years! (Not five years; four years.) New Haven Community Schools is a highly regarded school district. We’re the proud winners of the 2014 Winner’s Circle Award, 2014 Best and Brightest Award, 2014 Education Excellence Award and the 2014 Detroit Free Press Green Leader Award! Our transportation supervisor was named “Michigan Transportation Supervisor of the Year” for 2014. This school year, New Haven High School is a reward school and was ranked the fourth best high school in Macomb County by the Michigan Department of Education. If you’re a great teacher looking for a place to call home, come to the New Haven Community Schools table. Our small environment means you’ll be developed and nurtured to become a superstar teacher. If you want a small-town environment where everyone knows your name (yet is only three miles from a major shopping area), New Haven is the place for you. 52 | P a g e 2015 MSU Teacher and Administrator Recruitment Fair BRESLIN CENTER | 9:30 AM – 2:30 PM | PARKING: LOT 66A & LOT 69 Novi Community School District (Booth Number: 255) Location: Novi, Michigan Website: http://www.novi.k12.mi.us Majors Recruited: College of Education Position Types: Full Time Specializations: Elementary Education Description: Curriculum We believe in providing our instructional staff with clear instructional expectations, rigorous training, and ample resources.
