GVSU Teacher Intern Yasmin Alemayehu in her BCPS Classroom
Between 2020 and 2026, 84 GVSU teacher candidates have had the unique opportunity to participate in an urban school district's transformation by completing their teacher internships in Battle Creek Public Schools. As part of the GVSU Battle Creek teaching community, they have been mentored by both BCPS teachers and GVSU faculty. Many GVSU graduates are now employed by BCPS and have the opportunity to join the Early Career Teacher Mentoring Program. Winter 2026 is the final semester for BCPS intern placements.
