Hello, my name is Darryl Taylor and this is my first year teaching at Kirkwood High School.

Teaching philosophy: It is my responsibility to present the material in a way that is easily understandable. Some subjects within biology and anatomy by their nature are harder concepts to grasp. It will be incumbent upon the student to put in extra effort during those times to better understand the material.

Experience: This is my 7th year as a teacher in CMCSS; three years at NPMS, and three years at WCHS. I was an instructor in the military for 2.5 years. My understanding of biology and anatomy come from dealing with wounded personnel in my 20 years in Special Forces as well as my degree in biology.

Interests and hobbies: My family

Goals for the year: For me: to teach the curriculum with fidelity and enthusiasm. For my students: To gain insights to the amazing world of the human body and the cell.
