Reynaldo Castro, CPS Math Teacher, First Teacher from Puerto Rico Chosen to Participate in Research Program at Arecibo Observatory
CPS is proud to inform that Reynaldo Castro, CPS Math teacher, was chosen as the first high school teacher from Puerto Rico to participate in the Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program conducted at the Arecibo Observatory of the National Science Foundation. The 10 week research program offered by the Universidad Metropolitana aims at providing immersion in research for high school teachers in Puerto Rico that offer courses in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM). The idea is for teachers to incorporate skills acquired in this fine investigation center in classroom lessons to further promote interest in STEM disciplines.
Mr. Castro teaches pre-calculus, calculus honor and computer sciences at CPS. He holds a BS in Computer Science from the Metropolitan University and a Master's in Applied Mathematics with a focus on Computational Mathematics from the Arizona State University. His keenly interested in numerical algorithms, specifically mathematical models used in epidemiology.
CPS is extremely proud of Reynaldo’s latest accomplishment, one he was offered after passing a rigorous selection process. But as he has stressed to his students, "It is extremely important to understand that with lots of determination, dedication and discipline we can achieve great things.” Go Comets!
