特色教师
马克米. 施普林格博士
Chair of Politics and Pre-Law, Director of Social Studies Education, Professor of Politics
My 教学 philosophy fits a system where students and faculty are part of a learning community. Ethics and integrity are values that I stress inside and outside of the classroom; I believe we develop as people if we are open to discussion, but also reflective of the values that are important to building a community.
I try to demonstrate to students that a classroom code of conduct is reflective of society at large; the development of a strong community begins with a commitment to professional standards and is a product of the core values of respect for others in society. I feel these values are important for students to understand in order to become effective leaders.
的 bottom line is that I love to teach. Each individual has an interesting background and history that makes that student unique to the class. I like seeing students make connections between politics and their life in a meaningful way so that they can see that it is not all about power but can be a shared experience that is positive in life.
