Our Philosophy of Education

• The mission of our school is to provide, through example and instruction, the foundation for a lifetime of learning which will prepare our students to adapt successfully to change.
• Taylor Elementary School is a learning community committed to breaking the barriers that may segregate students. At, Taylor, students are assigned to teams of teachers who work cooperatively to meet the individual needs of all students.

Our Philosophy is based on several shared values:

·         We believe all children can learn in an environment that respects and nurtures individual potential, individual differenced, and individual needs.

·         We are committed to creating a warm, supportive school climate that is enriched by the contributions of all community members. We encourage excellence, civility, collaboration and compassion among ourselves and our students.

·         We know that grouping practices need to be varied, flexible, and sensitive to each student’s needs.

·         We foster the ability to solve problems systematically, creatively, and work cooperatively with others.

·         We emphasize the use of technology as an integrated tool for learning.

·         We realize that creating and maintaining Taylor’s school environment is a dynamic process and we are committed to the hard work and ongoing communication required to ensure the success of our program.
