Professor of Education
Devon Metzger is a professor of education in the Department of Education
at California State University, Chico. He earned his doctorate at
Indiana University in 1977, taught at the University of New Orleans
for nine years, and joined the CSU, Chico faculty in 1986. Dr. Metzger
coordinates the placement of Multiple Subject students in field
experiences, teaches social studies education courses in the credential
program and seminars in the graduate program.
Devon Metzger's primary academic interest is the education of citizens
for a democratic society. While social studies education is his
specific area of expertise, he views the general educational enterprise
as necessarily centered on education for democratic citizenship.
Therefore, teaching and research interests include such topics as
democratic schools and democratic classrooms, values education,
civic competencies, children and choices, and the importance of
teaching multiple perspectives.
