Two Escambia Educators Receive Shine Awards
December 9, 2015
Two Escambia County educators received Shine Awards Tuesday from Gov. Rick Scott.
Alisha Wilson is currently the Innovation Center Specialist at Washington High School and a former English teacher. She recently opened a satellite Writing Lab on campus in partnership with University of West Florida. She promotes “Makerspaces,” a creative space in the library where students gather to create video story production and to also work with robotics.
Gary James works in the Escambia County School District’s technology department, and teaches new methods of learning digital technology in classrooms. He mentors a team of high school students to help develop their computer skills.
“Florida is home to the best teachers in the nation and I am honored to recognize four outstanding educators today with the Governor’s Shine Award. I hope our teachers and students have a wonderful holiday break, and I forward to seeing their success in the classroom at the start of the New Year,” Scott said.
