The Southeast Michigan Stewardship Coalition (SEMIS Coalition), the Detroit area hub of the GLSI, is based at Eastern Michigan University (EMU).
At EMU, along with several other hubs of the GLSI, most notably University of Michigan-Flint, we have begun to apply the wisdom gained over the past 10 years of GLSI and SEMIS Coalition place-based educational efforts, to the development of undergraduate teacher preparation programs and pathways.
In our PBE work we use the Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative's (GLSI) definition--"a hands-on, inquiry-based, contextually embedded, and community-supported approach to teaching and learning that occurs in and with a place or community, is about a place or community, and yields benefits for a place or community" (www.glstewardship.org).
Returning to the GLSI definition of PBE, learning "occurs in and with a place or community, is about a place or community, and yields benefits for a place or community" (www.glstewardship.org).
Pricing is keen and starts at pounds 10,560 for the 4-door 1.5
GLSi, rising to pounds 12,350 for the 5-door 2.0 SDi diesel.
