A Quick Look At Mr. Fauerbach
Hello and welcome to my E-Portfolio. My name is Michael Fauerbach and I am a Social Studies Teacher at Lincoln School in Evansville, IN. I attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a History Major, Minoring in Secondary Eduction. Along with this, I attended Olivet Nazarene University for my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I currently hold highly qualified status in History, Political Science, Psychology, Economics, and Geography. This will allow me to teach up to AP level for all of these topics while still allowing me to teach any other level of Social Science. The aim of my teaching is always to get students to make connections between different parts of history, access the material at a personal level, and finally be sure that all students think critically about the material at many different points. I love the idea of being able to have an effect on the lives of our future global citizens. My teaching philosophy involves getting students involved in the content as much as physically possible. I accomplish this through methods such as simulations as well as real world applications. Some of the real world applications I use includes Skype interviews with NASA, a US Senator, and a Political Science Professor that worked on the Obama Campaign in 2008. Along with this, I like to engage the students in the content through election simulations, mock trials, case studies, social action projects, and many other methods to mame the lessons more focused on student action.
I have had many great teaching experiences throughout my career
