Dr. Schaff was featured on the front page of the Aberdeen American News this morning:. "Educator Cares for Students."
Many educators believe students need to take responsibility for their own education.
But it also takes a teacher who cares, said Jon Schaff, who earlier this year was named Outstanding Faculty Member for 2005 at Northern State University in Aberdeen. Receiving the honor at age 33, Schaff, now 34, is among the youngest recipients.
"Students must be your No. 1 priority," said the political science and sociology professor. "You have to care enough about them to get them interested in the subject."
I find this very unfair. I didn't make the front page under similar circumstances, and I dress like an earthling.
On a brighter note, I will be participating on a South Dakota Public Radio Forum on January 11th. The topic is U.S. policy in Iraq.
