[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marsal.  Other option is a top teaching pegeam where she is legacy and will apply TO[/quote]

I am an in-state Michigan parent and grad alum.  Michigan State is a more common background for teachers and administrators in the Detroit metro area (which has a lot of the more affluent districts in Michigan).  Michigan grads are fewer and farther between in the public schools I'm familiar with.  Often in rarer specialties and high school teaching.

Does your child want to live and work in Michigan after graduation?  A lot of the well-functioning Michigan districts are fairly small and hometown in character.

Which program is larger of the 2 that interest her for ED, and does that scale ensure the cohort size she would like and sufficient flexibility with coursework?

Does she see herself as a future principal or superintendent where a Michigan degree might have a bit of cachet?

Is she secondary education oriented?

I'd also like to know what social aspects of each ED choice she'd take advantage of to make a big school small.  A living learning community?  A musical group?  What has she picked out?  Being in a smaller school within Michigan, she may need some social life beyond the Education school cohort and the dorm. There are lots of activities to choose from.  I'd recommend having an up front plan before ED'ing.

And as for ED strategy, my impression is that every teacher candidate is valuable right now in the local Michigan job market.  There aren't enough locals entering the field.  So I think you're in a situation that would at a minimum be LSA-like with respect to acceptance and probably easier.  That makes me guess that ED'ing to the legacy school with TO would be a bigger boost over EA chances. If we're purely talking about strategic leverage.[/quote]
