Taylor Zovko

I’m an experienced English teacher with a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction, and I’m currently exploring both summer job opportunities and potential career shifts. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with students from diverse backgrounds, and this experience has deepened my passion for making others feel seen and appreciated. I thrive in high-pressure situations and am known for my calmness, empathy, and compassion. I strongly believe in the power of collaboration and am always eager to learn from others in order to improve my work. Adaptability is key for me—I’m flexible and take a logical approach to problem-solving, which allows me to approach challenges with a clear, organized mindset. Whether in the classroom or in a new role, I value celebrating the unique qualities of each individual and fostering positive connections in every environment.

I am a dedicated English teacher with experience at Harford Technical High School, specializing in student motivation, curriculum implementation, and classroom management. In addition to my teaching role, I have worked as an Extended School Year Teacher, focusing on student support and behavioral management, and as a Day Camp Counselor/Division Director, where I developed strong leadership and communication skills. I also have experience assisting children with special needs in both caregiving and educational settings. I recently earned my M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction and am committed to fostering a positive learning environment tailored to diverse student needs.

I hold a Master's in Education (Curriculum and Instruction) from the American College of Education and a Bachelor's in Secondary Education, English, and Special Education from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. My educational background has provided me with a strong foundation in lesson planning, individualized instruction, and student support, allowing me to effectively meet the diverse needs of my students. With specialized training in curriculum development and classroom management, I am equipped to create engaging learning experiences that align with academic standards while fostering critical thinking and literacy skills.
