Meet Taylor Bryan CCSD Rookie Of The Year

Meet Taylor Bryan, CCSD Rookie Of The Year for 2021-22!

You can find Taylor Bryan teaching Dance, Theatre, and Social Emotional Learning at The Arts Academy at Summit. We asked her a little about herself: Q: Why did you want to be a teacher? I became a teacher because children have an innate ability to bring joy to the world and a smile to my face. There is not a day that goes by that my students do not teach me something new and leave me a better person for knowing them. Q: What do you love about your job? Oh Gosh! There are so many aspects that I enjoy! But my favorite — my absolute favorite thing that wakes me up with a pep in my step each morning — is the relationships I foster and grow with my students. Q: What is one of your hidden talents? That I can become completely enchanted by a good book. So much so that I forget about eating or sleeping. There are few things more magical than a good book. Q: What would the students be surprised to find out about you? That I performed in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland in an original play based off of Grimms’ Fairy Tales. Also, that this photo was taken the day I found out I would get to be their teacher! I call my job my “Unicorn Job” and I am truly humbled each day I get to spend doing what I love. Q: How did you spend your summer? I soaked up every moment of my summer with my husband, family, friends, and my sweet puppy Dublin.
