This morning Mrs Scott and Mrs Dobson in collaboration with Ms Wesnak presented at the 2022 Christa McAuliffe Transforming, Teaching, and Technology Conference. We take such pride in our educators at Ellis School and are thrilled when they share their brilliance with other educators across the state.
We are delighted to introduce you to Mr. Stanley, our new Technology Teacher! Mr. Stanley recently moved back to the area after almost a decade teaching in Los Angeles, California. As a technology educator, Mr. Stanley has developed curricula around 2d and 3d animation, video editing, digital photography, and video game programming. His previous assistant principal shared that Mr. Stanley developed strong relationships with all of his students and that learners with interests in online gaming, robotics, computer science, etc. found a welcoming home within his classroom.
Welcome Mr. Stanley, we are so happy to have you join our community!
