TEACHERS SPEND 1,110 HOURS WITH YOUR CHILD A YEAR. WHAT IS THAT WORTH?
GAMECHANGERS IN EDUCATION
Meet Reneeta Polson and Jalen Williams, two of Michigan's most impactful educators featured in the TeachMichigan TeachCenter commercial.
Reneeta, a dedicated second-grade teacher with a decade of experience at Kentwood Public Schools, and Jalen, a passionate high school educator with seven years at Benzie County Central Schools, embody the spirit of Michigan teachers as “difference makers.” These remarkable teachers represent the thousands who tirelessly work towards a brighter future for our children.
