In October of last year, students within the MSU College of Education were informed of a change in Michigan law that affected the length of their programs. This year, seniors are feeling the weight of its impact.MSU shifted from its five-year program to a four-year program for education majors. The news came shortly before students had to schedule classes for the upcoming semester. The then juniors had to decide how they could feasibly adjust to the new program— most had taken too many classes already to be eligible and moved forward with the five-year path. At the same time, new students would benefit from getting certification and not shell out the same expense on additional classes.This year, from Sept. 14-19, town halls were held to communicate with students on how to navigate the transition as seniors moved into the placement aspect of their program, which places education students in classrooms to get hands-on experience. Special education for third through sixth-grade senior Anna VandenBussche said the meetings failed to meet their central task: communication. "The first half of this meeting talked about developing yourself as a professional— like how you should appear, what you should and should not post on Instagram or stuff like that," VandenBussche said. "What we wanted from this meeting was answers to be able to speak out our voices and answer the questions that we've been asking for the months that led up to this meeting."VandenBussche said confusion spurred by program coordinators was the norm, but their attitudes quickly worsened.VandenBussche recalled the Friday, Sept. 15 meeting being especially upsetting due to an interaction with pre-internship elementary program coordinator Andrea Kelly. VandenBussche said that after a student asked how coordinators can help students accommodate them while taking a large amount of in-class placement hours, Kelly said something that shocked her.
