“Few educators have mastered the ART of teaching at such an early stage in one’s career as has Mr. Taylor. With his incredible ability to connect and nurture relationships, he has built an infinitely strong bond with his students that will last the rest of their days. If he wasn’t such a naturally gifted sage on the stage in the classroom, his second calling would find him a nationwide star as a standup comedian.” Demitrious Sinor
About this class:
My name is Taylor Richardson and I teach 8th grade U.S. history at James Workman Middle school. The most common question I get from my students throughout the year is "Mr. Richardson why did you want to become a teacher." They seem a bit shocked when I present them with my reasoning behind my career choice. Even other people are surprise that I would choose to teach middle school, thinking that the kids are horrible. I tell them just the opposite of what they were excepting. The truth is that I love my job. Helping students learn about their past and preparing them for high school and the real world drives me to be teacher. I enjoy helping students and being one of their many guides throughout there lives. I enjoy the subject of history. Some would call me a history nerd, which is okay, I take it as a compliment.
In my class your student will learn U.S. history through many different ways. I use a wide range of resources to make history come alive in the classroom. We do not only study about the past, but we are also on a never ending quest to connect the past to the present. How does this topic affect them? I find that if they are personally invested in the subject matter they are more likely to do well on assignments and tests. My goal is that students come out with an understanding of their past and are well prepare for the future.
