Taylor Byrd, M. Ed. Email & Phone Number

With over nine years of experience as a classroom teacher, I have developed a passion for creating engaging and inclusive learning environments for students from diverse backgrounds and abilities. I have taught at Atlas Preparatory School, a charter school that strives to empower students to achieve academic and personal excellence, for the past six years. There, I have implemented innovative curriculum and instructional strategies, collaborated with other teachers and staff, and leveraged my social networking and communication skills to build strong relationships with students, parents, and community partners. I have also demonstrated my attention to detail and organizational skills by managing multiple projects and tasks, such as coaching basketball, coordinating field trips, and mentoring new teachers. Prior to Atlas Prep, I taught at Risley Middle School, a public school that serves low-income and marginalized students, where I gained valuable experience in addressing the academic and social-emotional needs of my students. Additionally, I have enhanced my teaching skills and knowledge by working as an outdoor educator at Camp Tecumseh YMCA, where I facilitated experiential and environmental education programs for youth and adults. I am fluent in English; conversational in Spanish, and Malay, and I hold a valid Colorado State Teaching License. I am passionate about education and I seek to join an organization that shares my vision of providing high-quality and equitable education for all learners.
