Taylor Monts - 6th Grade Health

About Me: I grew up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and graduated from Southlake Carroll Sr. High School. Afterwards, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos and received my bachelor's degree in Exercise and Sport Science in 2010. Upon graduating, I lived in Austin where I trained as a competitive marathon runner and taught elementary physical education in Victoria. My passion with athletics, coaching and teaching led me out-of-state to Fayetteville, Arkansas and to the Bay Area, California where I served as a private running coach and as the head boys and girls distance track coach for Palo Alto High School. I eventually decided to move overseas to Shanghai, China and Taipei, Taiwan to teach English as a second language for all ages. After moving back to the United States, I taught health and physical education to K-8th grade students in the south side of Chicago, Illinois. Most recently, my wife and I have moved back to Texas and absolutely love the Weatherford Independent School District! It has been an amazing blessing for us. 

 

Teaching Philosophy: I instill a passion for learning in my students with enthusiasm in my classroom. I always meet students where they are in their educational journey by developing respectful relationships and showing interest in their lives. This includes taking into account students' circumstances, perspectives and specific needs. I have experience working with students of diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic histories. Bearing that in mind, my primary goal is reaching all students and inspiring them to grow.
