Taylor-ing Instruction
About
For 21 years, I have served in a variety of instructional leadership roles where I develop and support the implementation of effective instructional systems. As a teacher, an Instructional Coach, Intervention Specialist, and Dean of Instruction for various Title 1 schools, I have served students and staff in a wide range of educational settings.
From the beginning, I believed that both teachers and students alike should enjoy the journey of learning. Therefore, I committed myself to working collaboratively with teachers sharing effective, research-based strategies to create learning environments for ALL students that foster critical thinking, curiosity, and creativity through a variety of academic experiences. This belief continues to fuel my work within the the ever-changing profession by helping to create educational opportunities relevant to the world in which we live.
"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
