Congratulations to Math Teacher Aanand Vasudevan who was recognized at the annual FCPS Honors event as the FCPS 2019 Outstanding New Secondary Teacher!

A colleague praises Mr. Vasudevan by saying, “he is quite simply the confident agent of change that we need in FCPS mathematics instruction to bring equity to the forefront of our work.” Each day Mr. Vasudevan brings his belief in the potential of each and every mathematics learner to his classroom. He has built an innovative secondary mathematics workshop model, and he exemplifies all that we understand about promoting equity and access. “Every time I walk by his door there are students who are interacting with him and with one another in a safe setting with the highest expectations of learning,” says a colleague. Another colleague says that “his potential for innovation and leadership is limitless.”
