I have learned a great deal about my faith by seeing how my students apply scripture to their views of teaching and their role as the teachers.

Profile

Dr. Adam Huck spent thirteen years as a classroom teacher in the Rush-Henrietta Central School District, where he taught grades 3, 4, and 6. 

Prior to coming to Roberts Wesleyan University , Dr. Huck was a Lecturer at SUNY Buffalo State and taught an introduction to education course as well as methods courses in literacy and social studies. While pursuing his doctorate at the University at Buffalo, Dr. Huck was an adjunct instructor and taught social studies methods at the graduate level. 

At Roberts, he  is known for his thoughtful course design, student-centered instruction, and dedication to mentoring. His research focuses on elementary social studies, with particular attention to civic education and the role of teacher candidates in open learning environments. His work has been published in Social Studies Research & Practice and Excelsior: Leadership in Teaching and Learning.

When not in the classroom,  he enjoys following the Los Angeles Rams and reading about American history. He finds personal encouragement in Philippians 4:6, a reminder to approach all things with prayer, gratitude, and trust in God.

His lessons were always engaging, fun, and applicable in the real world of education. He helped me to have a more inclusive and diverse mindset about teaching.

Dr. Huck puts in an authentic and tangible effort to do all he can to see his students succeed. He cares deeply about his students and their futures as teachers. He clearly loves what he does, and does it well!
