CSforAllPA Exemplary Educator: Jeffrey Wile
At the Summit, Bureau of Special Education assistant director, Dr. Amy Pastorak helped us recognize CSforAllPA Exemplary Educator award finalists Heather Hedderman and Elizabeth Woods and the winner, Jeffrey Wile.
Jeff was nominated by his principal at Warwick High School for his efforts to increase the number of female students in his classes. He also received nominations from multiple members of the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) Susquehanna Valley chapter. Jeff founded the Susquehanna Valley chapter as a way to connect with other CS teachers and is currently the president.
Congratulations, Jeff!
We want to celebrate CS efforts in your community!
