Welcome Back Students!

Dear Students,

Welcome back to an exciting new school year! My name is Dr. Wanda Davis, and I am your Career and Technical Education (CTE) Information Technology instructor. Over the past twenty-six years, I have had the privilege of teaching in urban school districts throughout Missouri. During that time, I guided students through Microsoft Office 2021-2024 Certification programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access), web design and development, front-end (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and back-end programming (Python, Java, PHP, SQL), as well as game design, videography, and photography using Adobe Cloud programs.

Our programs are rigorous, interactive, and career-focused, designed to provide you with the foundational skills needed to succeed in today’s ever-changing technology industry. By earning certifications, you are preparing yourself to:

• Stand out from the competition for jobs and scholarships

• Demonstrate your expertise in the latest technology

• Showcase industry-leading skills on your resume

• Join an elite network of professionals

• Open doors to global career opportunities

• Apply your certification across multiple career fields

My hope is that by the end of this course, you will not only develop strong skills but also gain a new appreciation for the subject, inspiring you to continue your education and career in the technology field.

My Teaching Philosophy

I believe in the Four A’s of Academics: Attendance, Achievement, Attire, and Attitude. My passion is to challenge students to grow beyond their current strengths, while also challenging myself to stay innovative as an educator and researcher. I aim to bring new, exciting curriculum and technology innovations into our classroom.

Above all, I believe:

“Students do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

Building positive, educational relationships across cultures is my number one priority.
