Julie Alley, Principal at Garfield Elementary School in Port Huron, has been named a Gerstacker Fellow. Alley is one of only fourteen educators chosen statewide.
The Gerstacker Fellow Program is administrated through Saginaw Valley State University. Part of the designation entails a year of leadership training including a trip to the Netherlands and Germany to learn about international educational systems.
Over 160 educators have participated in the Gerstacker Fellow Program, meeting monthly to learn about leadership practices, organizational leadership, communication, cognitive coaching, finance and education with a global perspective. The program is working with its 15th cohort.
Alley has been teaching for eighteen years, spending the last five years as an administrator for Port Huron Schools.
Port Huron Schools Superintendent Theo Kerhoulas said, “This program supports our belief at Port Huron Schools that we have the best when it comes to educators and leadership at our schools. We are proud of this accolade for Mrs. Alley and eager to see the results of the training she will gain from this experience.”
Congratulations to Julie Alley.
