Mr. Taylor
Four Seasons A+
I am a 4th and 5th grade teacher. I started as a student teacher co-teaching the 4th grade in the 2018-19 school year. My mission in teaching is to help your child learn, laugh, and cooperate. Working with my families with a common goal of achieving our children’s potential and encouraging the joy of learning is my ultimate philosophy of teaching.
Personal
I spent the first half of my life in Mt. Laurel, NJ a suburb of Philadelphia, PA. Gia, my wife of 29 years, is also in education. Gia and I have two boys, Myles and Kyle. Myles has a degree in the health care field, and Kyle is a behavior coach at an elementary school. My hobbies are barbecuing, golfing, and Netflix binge watching.
Career
My father, who is my hero, was an educator for 56 years, so I always admired the field of education. When I went to Penn State, I wanted to be either a teacher or an accountant. My father encouraged me to get a BS degree in Accounting. I enjoyed Accounting/Finance for 28 years. When I turned 50, I decided to pursue my other passion. I obtained my MA degree in Elementary Education at the University of St Thomas through St Paul Urban Teacher Residency program (SUTR).
