Two Teaching Taylors

Two Teaching Taylors is a partnership between married teachers, Tammy and Marquise. Tammy has 8 years experience teaching 5th grade science. For 6 of those years, she also taught United States Social Studies. Marquise has 9 years experience teaching Math and Science. The majority of that time as been in 4th grade, however, he started out in 5th grade.

We believe that learning happens most successfully when students are active and engaged. Though that is not an original idea, our goal is to teach to the best of our abilities while staying true to that belief. A visit to either one of our classrooms will show students up, moving, sharing, laughing and actively seeking their learning. We want students to feel invested in what happens in our classrooms.

Tammy has a Bachelor of Arts in Mid-level Math and Science. Marquise has a Bachelor of Science in Mid-level Math and Science and a Masters in Science Curriculum and Instruction.

We met in the education program at UTA and were married a year after graduation. We are on a quest to visit every state in our country. After many years of wanting a child we welcomed our twin girls in January 2017. At the end of last school year we decided that Tammy would take some time away from the classroom to spend quality time with our toddler twins.
