Ms. Taylor

I am passionate about educating future advocates. My classes typically “socially study.” I have them working collaboratively and learning together.

The theme of disruption is a big takeaway from #ASCDAnnualConference

"It is 5 years from now and we have achieved our vision. In what way are we different?" Building a collective vision as a means to being proactive about teacher burnout. #ASCDAnnualConference @BeTheLeaderYou1 @JillHandleyKES @LaraDonnelly

Shout out to an amazing team of teachers who worked on culminating task revisions the past 2 days. More resource development and revisions to come next week! #summerwork #alwaysgrowing

[Ms. Taylor @SociallyStudy]

Teachers are "learning the ropes" this morning before Culminating Task revisions. Remember- struggling is good and supporting each other is necessary. Thank you, @jacobaclifford for the activity! #civics #acdcecon #teambuilding @bcharles_OCPS

I'm moved by the displays in the Holocaust Memorial Research and Education Center. What a meaningful space to be in while engaging in the work of representation, inclusion, and history. @aahtf1 #aahtfedu

Thank you to everyone who made my last day in the classroom so wonderful. Your kind words, weird jokes, and welcome hugs will stay with me. It's strange to think I won't be someone else's Ms. Taylor but I am entirely satisfied knowing that I have been that for all of you.

This lady was filmed today for a Florida Civics and Debate Initiative hype video. She nailed it. Period.

The video will also feature the amazingly talented Alena, Raj, and Solomon.
