This month's AACPS HPED "Shout Outs" go to...

Pam Cole (Old Mill MS-North) - Ms. Cole goes above and beyond to check on her department and is always willing to step into assist the department. Whether she is checking in on her department members throughout the day or helping clean the dance studio floors or laying lines for other classes instruction, Ms. Cole is an example of a productive leader. Thank YOUUUUUUUU!!! ~ Adam Bellarin (Old Mill MS-North) 

Amanda Weisgerber (Annapolis HS) - Amanda always goes above and beyond to support and help out. She gives great advice and we appreciate her!  ~ Bethany Garland (Annapolis HS)

Matt Bugenhagen (Glen Burnie HS) - Mr. Bugenhagen has fulfilled the roll of Bi-lingual Health teacher at GBHS.  Watching his interactions with his ESOL students is inspiring.  He utilizes Spanish to help with instruction but teaches in English since the goal for this group of students is to become more proficient in English.  The students are presented with activities that are differentiated based on their comfort level in the class, however, they still achieve the same goal in the end.  The ESOL students are lucky to have a teacher like Mr. Bugenhagen to work with them in this capacity and ultimately earn their Health credit, taking them one step closer to graduation.  ~ Stacey Wirth (Glen Burnie HS0

Tim Smith (Crofton Meadows ES) - Tim let's me borrow equipment for my homeschool and he is always willing to chat openly about PE games, student concerns, and life as an educator.  Thanks for being awesome Tim!  ~ Deanna Corsones (Eastport ES)

Ronnie Hopkins (Annapolis HS) - Ronnie has had a great start here at A High! She has been doing a stellar job with getting students engaged and holding all students accountable. It is exciting to see what new drill she is introducing to her team sports Basketball class. Way to go Ronnie!!  ~ Amanda Weisgerber (Annapolis HS)

The Voluntary Transfer Process

It's the time of year where we see vacancies and program growth opportunities.

As a professional courtesy, we ask that you please reach out if you are considering/interested in a change or there is discussion of program growth. We want to help you with the process, so let us know!

If you choose to participate in the voluntary transfer process, please be sure to visit HR navigator to apply for open positions. You should begin to regularly check the portal beginning March 1st. (Vanacies at the three new schools will be posted starting March 1st as well).
