‘The TAM program has benefited me because of the
fact that it has prepared me to teach my own classes
with confidence.’ -Alston Shipley, MVHS 2016
TAM Graduate Testimony
“The TAM program put me steps ahead of my
classmates. I felt very prepared for the education
courses and for my student teaching experience
because of the program. I would do it again in a
heartbeat.”
- Ms. Avery, CHS 2011
Major: Bachelor of Science in
Mathematics, Towson University 2015
Current Position: WHS Mathematics
TAM Graduate Testimony“The TAM Program was the best possible start to my
career in teaching. It placed me ahead of my peers in
college, as we covered topics that I had already learned but
also had a chance to apply in the classroom. The internship
in a middle school provided a hands-on experience that was
second to none and allowed me to decide whether or not
teaching was the best career path before spending
thousands of dollars in college.”
- Mr. Brynes, MVHS 2011
Major: History, Secondary Education
Certification - Towson University 2015
Current Position: WHS Social Studies
TAM Graduate Testimony
“I always thought that I wanted to become a
teacher, the TAM helped me to get a taste of the
education world and affirm that teaching was the
profession I wanted to go into.”
- Hope Westbrook, WHS 2011
Major: Bachelor of Science in Middle Level
Education, Eastern University 2014
Current Position: Mt. Airy Middle School, 8th
grade Mathematics Teacher
TAM Graduate Testimony
“The TAM program was a thorough introduction of
all of the major topics which are covered in my
college education courses. While the TAM courses
did not transfer into my university, I constantly
refer to my notes from the TAM courses which
make my assignments much easier.”
- Bradley Davidson, MVHS 2013
Major: Secondary Education Mathematics,
Shepherd University 2017
TAM Graduate Testimony
“The TAM Program benefited me by allowing me a
chance to experience and learn about the teaching
profession before college, as well as expand my
knowledge of teaching before I started my studies
in college..”
- Bryan Geiselman, WMHS 2013
Major: Middle School Mathematics/Science,
Stevenson University 2017
TAM Graduate Testimony“The TAM program has benefitted me in so many
ways! I came into college ahead of my peers having
already completed student teaching, I earned
college credit through my classes in the TAM
program, and I was able to have hands on
experience during my time in high school that
helped prepare me for both my college classes and
the internships I have had at Towson University.”- Elizabeth Hopkins, WHS 2012
