Still teaching for Johns Hopkins University
January 03, 2022
We have expanded, and now have a group of supervisors. Since I've never had a supervisory role, I'm still "just" an instructor. But I am the person they use when they need to replace an instructor. Partly because I teach so many courses, and partly I am so flexible. That means I will get all the students from an instructor who leaves us (happened twice), or I get students who have issues with another instructor.
By the way, I occasionally have to give up a student because we don't get along. Hasn't happened in a few years now, but no everyone meshes well.
I don't get a lot of Advanced Scratch these days, I don't think we get as many students for that course as we used to.
I do get a lot of Python students. We start that in third grade. We have two courses, one for third to fifth graders, one for six grade to ninth.
I am now teaching the entire Web Design series -- Introduction to Web Design, Advanced Web Design, which is more CSS than not, and Interactive Web Design with JavaScript.
I still REALLY enjoy it, though the last two years has been very intense.
