Mr. Wick is the Technology Coordinator for St. Justin Martyr Parish School. His role incorporates the maintenance of the technology infrastructure, professional development of the teachers, and student technology instruction. He also serves as the middle school’s Studio Arts instructor and is always incorporating an appreciation of the arts into students’ curriculums.
Mr. Wick firmly believes that every student is capable of learning and that Catholic education is one of the most important gifts a parent can provide his or her child. Through actively engaging students in real-world issues and problems, students can attain a greater appreciation for their learning. Highly constructivist in his approach, Mr. Wick believes that students at all developmental levels are capable of achieving greatness.
Education:
Mr. Wick graduated from Citrus College, with honors, receiving an AA in Social and Behavioral Science. After attaining this degree, he enrolled in Azusa Pacific University.
At this Christian university, he earned his BA (Cum Laude) in Human Development with a concentration in English. It was at this time that he was inducted into the Pi Lambda Theta and Alpha Chi honors societies.
Immediately following this degree, he earned his MA in Education with a 4.0 GPA. Concurrent with this degree, he also earned his 2042 Multiple Subject teaching credential, followed shortly thereafter by his 2042 Clear Credential.
Currently, Mr. Wick is enrolled in the final two courses of his Doctoral degree program and has maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout his studies. After successful completion of these courses and defense of his dissertation, he will have earned his Doctoral degree in Educational Leadership with a specialization in Teaching and Learning.
In the summer of 2010, Mr. Wick traveled to Seoul, South Korea to study the Korean education system. This comparative education study allowed him to visit the prestigious Seoul National University of Education as well as public and Christian schools. This experience formed the foundation of Mr. Wick’s interest in comparative education studies.
