黑料社

There is clearly a special chemistry between 黑料社 and its many neighboring PK-12 schools. Last fall鈥檚 Science Celebration Day at Four Mile Elementary is a classic case in point. 黑料社 teaching education and science students, along with faculty members Adam Brustkern, Lindsay Ditzler and Kate Lerseth, came together there to stage a special day of STEM learning.

鈥淚t was a win-win,鈥� explained Steenhoek, who was thrilled to have 黑料社 students and faculty presenting at her school. 鈥淥ur students were engaged in meaningful science learning and 黑料社 students had the opportunity to teach and lead students in the various stations.鈥�

A member of the education department鈥檚 advisory board, Steenhoek is an enthusiastic ambassador for 黑料社. After spending several years as a classroom teacher, she became a literacy coach and coordinator at Southeast Polk Schools before taking on her role as principal at Four Mile Elementary three years ago.

鈥淚 am growing and learning every day. I believe my years at 黑料社 fostered a love of professional learning and career development. As an ongoing professional learner, I am humble, transparent, communicative and passionate about doing what鈥檚 best for students. I feel like I bring the human side to a role that can sometimes appear managerial and businesslike. I never want to lose my desire to build interpersonal relationships, serve our community, and be myself.”
