“...I wanted to
difference in the world.”
Ryan Devlin, a 2007 Waynesburg University secondary English education alumnus, was recently named Pennsylvania’s 2013 “Teacher of the Year.” “The current and recently retired faculty members at Waynesburg University are very proud of Ryan’s accomplishments,” said Debra Clarke, assistant professor of education and chair of the Education Department at Waynesburg University. “The mission of the Education Department is to prepare teachers who embrace learning and dedicate themselves to service and leadership in the profession. Ryan exemplifies the fulfillment of our mission.” Devlin, currently in his fifth year at Brockway Area High School, has known since the age of 8 what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. “I spent a lot my childhood and adolescent years daydreaming about the type of teacher I wanted to become,” he said. “Teaching seemed like the perfect outlet for my creativity, and I wanted to do something that would enable me to make a difference in the world.” After graduating from Waynesburg, Devlin was hired as an English teacher at Brockway Area High School in his hometown of Brockway, Pa. In 2009, he completed his master’s degree in Education and soon after was hired as the chair of Brockway’s English Department. On top of teaching and coaching cross country (a program he created at Brockway in 2008), he now oversees the curriculum, plans professional development and analyzes student data for the English Department.
