CIFS Department Will Give Banner To Lake Hazel Middle School

The College of Education’s Department of Curriculum, Instruction and Foundational Studies will present a banner to Lake Hazel Middle School at 5 p.m. Thursday at the school in Meridian.

Lake Hazel Middle School has been designated a professional development school by Boise State University, and the banner is in recognition of the partnership between BSU and the school.

The professional development school program is a series of partnerships with Idaho school districts and BSU’s colleges of Education, Arts and Science, Social Sciences and Public Affairs, and Business and Economics. The program’s goals are to increase school performance, prepare teaching candidates, further professional development for school personnel and initiate inquiry into teaching and learning.

Professor Michael Heikkinen, chair of CIFS, is BSU’s liaison with the Lake Hazel Middle School Professional Development School.
