Dr. Fred Savitz has been a professor at Neumann College for twenty years. Prior to his arrival at Neumann, he served as assistant professor and director of student teaching at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. His background in teaching stems from an undergraduate degree in politics from Ursinus College and master's and doctoral degrees in curriculum, instruction, and assessment from Temple University. Dr. Savitz has taught at every grade level in basic education, and he translates these experiences into the educational psychology and methods courses that he regularly teaches at Neumann. He believes that a productive classroom is an animated classroom, so music, dance, and drama frequently punctuate the learning activities. When Dr. Savitz is not teaching, he can be found editing the Journal of the Middle States Council for the Social Studies or preparing manuscripts on teacher preparation for publication in higher education venues. He finds his muse while he is running in the early morning or playing the mandolin, banjo, or harmonica in the evening.
