He teaches Computer Science at The Young Women’s Leadership School of Brooklyn, and has taught previously at the East-West School of International Studies, as part of the Microsoft TEALS program. With a M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan, and a firm yet eyes-wide-open belief in public education, Jim has been working toward a fruitful marriage between career and passion. His involvement with TEALS has been a strong complement to his work at DonorsChoose.org, an online charity connecting citizen donors to public school classrooms in need.
