My name is Akayla Taylor. I am so excited to be teaching English Language Arts and Social Studies at Shady Shores Elementary. I began my teaching career in 2019, after graduating from UNT. Teaching is my passion and I find so much joy in helping children see their potential and find their passion for learning. I also have experience in English as a Second Language. I am proud to be part of the Falcon Family!
