Greetings All,
I’m Dale Beames and I teach science at Atlantic Technical High School in Coconut Creek, FL. My degrees are in physics, but over a 30+ year teaching career I’ve taught physics, most levels of math, marine science, and most recently, reading and Exploring Computer Science. I will have 2 or 3 sections of CSP next year so I have my work cut out for me!
In my free time I read, write, geocache, bike, and try and fix anything broken.
Hello,
My name is Adam, I just finished my first year of teaching. My degree is in computer science, but the opportunity to teach intrigued me and I’ve found there is a lot to like. I look forward to working with everyone in the future and learning as much as possible from some experienced CS teachers!
Hello Everyone,
My name is Kenneth (Rob) Spohn and I’ve been teaching at Plantation High School in Broward County, Florida since 2006. I’ve been teaching upper level math (AP Statistics, Calculus, IB Mathematics Higher Level, Algebra 2) until last year when I was also called upon to teach ECS. My degrees are in Computer Science and Mathematics, and, since I’m certified in Comp. Sci. as well as math, I’ve been chosen to also teach the CSP course next year. I look forward to the opportunity to teach CSP to our students, and give them the opportunity to learn some Computer Science.
Hobbies: I enjoy camping with my wife and 2 children, biking, and watching Penn State or Steelers football games.
My name is Bill Edmisten. I teach Computer Science at Yorktown High School in Arlington, Virginia.

My name is Rupali Satija. I have been teaching math at Santa Clara High School. I have a degree in CS. I am amazed how they have come up with CSP. It is a great opportunity to introduce computer science topics to all the students. I am looking forward to working with you all. I love spending time with family and friends.
Hello everyone, my name is Betty Mallory and I am new to computer science. Prior to my 16 years of teaching I worked in corporate. I consider it an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people in my computer science class, and I am sure my students will feel the same. I am married and we love to travel!
Hi Marty it is a pleasure to meet you and I concur that there is fun outside the comfort zone.

My name is Chandra and my role in CSP is to support and assist the CS teachers that are affiliated with the code.org program. This past year as teachers implemented the ECS curriculum, the teachers found the curriculum to be very refreshing with the resources that were provide. Personally the trainers were very enlightening and I use their model/format for PD in the PD courses that I coordinate. I am looking forward to the implementation of the CSP curriculum. My hope this year will be as refreshing as last year and the momentum will continue.
Hi, I’m Terence and I’ve been teaching for over 10 years. I remember learning to program BASIC in HS in Jamaica. It was a bitter sweet experience because I was excited to learn how to program a computer but my school could not keep a teacher. I am honored to work at St. Charles High in Charles Country MD, where I teach Web Development and Design, Java Honors, ECS and the new CSP course this fall. I love the being outdoors doing outdoor activities (Hiking, bike riding and camping). I’m also a semi-professional photographer.
Greetings!

My teaching responsibilities range from Social Studies, CTE, basic math, and even one semester as an art teacher (Yikes)!
My hobbies include snow skiing, hiking, and fitness.
I am really looking forward to the PD for this program!
