Staff Spotlight - Casey Taylor

Since 2014, Mrs. Casey Taylor has been focused on being the best professional educator she can. Meet Mrs. Taylor, this week's Staff Spotlight.

Mrs. Taylor is currently a seventh grade social studies teacher, FLY sponsor, and serves on the Principal's Advisory Council. Whether inside the classroom or outside the classroom, Mrs. Taylor strives to be her best. She challenges herself each day to find new ways to connect to her students and help them master their learning. For the past two years, Mrs. Taylor has been using gamification in her classroom to help students take ownership of their own learning. Her classroom is lively and infused with technology usage. She helps meet students where they are with their learning by checking consistently on what they know and then providing them tailored instructional paths to help build their mastery. She also believes it is important to give kids opportunities to get plugged into their own school through clubs and activities. As such, she sponsors FLY for our kids which meets almost each week before school. As a professional educator, she also helps support her colleagues by serving on the Principal's Advisory Committee and seeking ways to encourage her colleagues through positive words of encouragement. Mrs. Taylor has been been recognized as both a PMMS Teacher of the Year and as a CCSD Middle Level Teacher of the Year.

Mrs. Taylor's embodiment of our school's core values of commitment, leadership, integrity, mindfulness, and balance is seen in all she does. Her service at our school is yet another reason Pine Mountain is one of CCSD's best places to teach, lead, and learn.
