At the 2004 annual conference, the Northwest Council for Computer Education honors a select few of its members for leadership and service to the organization and to the field of education in general.

The President’s Award for Outstanding Achievement is given to an individual who has distinguished himself or herself as a technology leader and has dedicated many years to supporting NCCE activities.This year’s award winner is Dr. Clancy Wolf.

Friends and colleagues describe him as creative and thoughtful, passionate and dedicated, a true family man and a champion for a good cause. His sense of humor and positive outlook make him a pleasure to work with and his level-headed confidence is a much-appreciated asset.

A “reformed northwesterner,” Clancy returned home to the Seattle area after years of teaching and studying in Florida and Michigan. He has worked with students, teachers, and researchers from Forks, Washington, to Key West, Florida, exploring how technology helps students learn and challenging students to think about their role in the world around them. He volunteers for NCCE in his spare time while managing his daytime job as the technology coordinator for the new environmental studies school, Island Wood, at Bainbridge Island in Washington.

Clancy has been a member of the Northwest instructional technology community for a number of years. He was a member of the NCCE Board of Directors for eight years, and served as President of the organization. While on the board, he championed many new and exciting programs, including the Student Showcase and DigiTalkies Film Festival projects. He continues to support NCCE activities as the organization’s Webmaster.

Clancy is a gifted educator who has truly made his mark on technology education. His dedication to kids and learning is remarkable; he is a model educator. NCCE is proud to present Clancy with the 2004 President’s Award for Outstanding Achievement.
