Now as a full-time SMT, Aaron will be returning to Northwood High School, where he conducted his MCERT fieldwork, to help grow and further establish the computer science program as a CS Teacher. In conjunction, he will co-teach TLPL101 as part of the Terrapin Teachers program during the Fall 2022 semester, and teach CMSC106 (Intro to C Programming) with the Department of Computer Science during the Spring 2023 semester. He is eager to leverage this unique collaboration between MCPS and UMD to create meaningful learning experiences and make lasting multi-level impact.
