Taylor MacKenzie

In my classroom, I want to facilitate learning and the skills that lead to learning. Teachers give more power to students by showing them they have control over their own education.” 

Taylor’s Story

Teaching Discipline

Biology

Why Biology

I love how biology helps explain the complex relationships between living things, and how life as we know it came to be. Because of my care for climate change, I wanted to know how these changes would impact living things.
