Middle Bucks Institute of Technology multimedia technology teacher James Davey has been selected as the 2022 Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year sponsored by the Pennsylvania Association for Career and Technical Education (PA-ACTE).
The PA-ACTE Teacher of the Year award recognizes inspirational leaders that embody the core values of the Association for Career and Technical Education through contributions to student success, innovations in teaching, and leadership in the local or greater CTE community.
As the teacher for the multimedia technology program, Davey offers students engaging instruction through real-world application within a student-centered learning environment. The program is standards-aligned and integrated with industry-based curriculum. Davey manages the program as if it were a film production company where students have opportunities to create their own films and work with clients in the studio at the school or on location within the community, which enables the students to attain relevant skills and knowledge. This is evident through high student enrollment, high student attendance, and high student achievement. It is also evident through the many awards the students earned this school year, despite facing challenges throughout the pandemic.
