WHITE OAK, TN (WLAF) – White Oak Elementary School’s Rebecca Taylor is WLAF’s educator of the week. Taylor is from Williamsburg, Kentucky, and she teaches Special Education.

Rebecca Taylor is showcased in this week’s WLAF Teacher of the Week feature.

She has been a teacher at White Oak for eight years. Taylor said she had always wanted to be a teacher, but it was something very personal that inspired her to go into special education. “I have always wanted to teach, but my son being born with a disability inspired me to go into special education,” Taylor said.

Her favorite part of the job is her students. “Even when life gets me down, I am instantly lifted up when I see those smiling faces. Something that keeps me going on hard days is also my students. I see how they struggle, and they never give up.  How can you let a bad day get to you when you see that kind of perseverance every day,” Taylor said. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 11/18/2021-6AM)
