ABOUT DR. JEFF STANZLER

Dr. Jeff Stanzler is a faculty member at the University of Michigan School of Education, working in teacher education and educational technology, and directing the Interactive Communications and Simulations (ICS) group. In his role with ICS, Dr. Stanzler manages four projects, mostly designed for middle school and high school students. These include the trans-historical “Place out of Time” simulation; The “Arab-Israeli Conflict Simulation;” and “Earth Odyssey,” a social/cultural issues forum linked to vicarious travel. The list also includes “ImagineNation Matters,” which uses simulation to create mentored storybooks for elementary students in grades 3-6 that explore significant cultural and historical events and ideas. University student “mentors” are trained within the context of Jeff’s undergraduate and graduate courses, where the focus is on supporting the project participants, and in exploring the nature of teaching and learning in these unusual contexts.

For the last few years, he and his ICS group have been working on a variation of “Place out of Time” for Jewish Day Schools (The Jewish Court of All Time), collaborating with their project partners at the University of Cincinnati’s Center for Studies in Jewish Education and Culture.

Dr. Stanzler is on the faculty of the Master of Arts with Secondary Certification (MAC) Program, where he teaches a course on teaching with technology, and the Michigan Community Scholars Program, which supports university student engagement in community-based work.

Each, ages 6-12, have enrolled in our classes, engaged in our lessons, shared of their own school experience and become a friend within our community.
