COMMENTS FROM TAYLOR “The most valuable part of my journey has been the collection of experiences from the various schools I have worked with. Having the opportunity to collaborate with directors and principals has been tremendously rewarding — offering insights and hands-on learning that I could not have gained anywhere else. “Throughout my experience, I have been pleasantly surprised by the warmth and collaboration within Utah’s charter school community. The individuals who work in Utah’s charter schools are incredible, passionate educators who truly love what they do. They choose to work in charter schools because of the unique opportunities these schools offer to their communities. “I chose to work with ThrivePoint Academy because I was once a ThrivePoint student. I needed a different approach to learning — one that would help me succeed. ThrivePoint teachers and student success coaches provided the support I needed to catch up in high school and ultimately graduate. “During my time at Mountain Heights, I had the invaluable opportunity to work alongside DeLaina Tonks, a pioneer in online education in Utah. I am incredibly grateful for her willingness to let me shadow her, giving me insight into the daily operations of the school and her leadership approach. Observing how she collaborates with her network to drive Mountain Heights forward was inspiring. This experience also sparked discussions about how Mountain Heights and ThrivePoint could work together to help more Utah students graduate and achieve long-term success. “One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is to expect the unexpected. While setting goals and maintaining a schedule is essential, flexibility is equally important in the ever-changing environment of school operations. One moment, you’re working with teachers; the next, you’re assisting the janitorial staff. These experiences have prepared me, and I’m excited for the upcoming school year.” SPACE AVAILABLE Advertise in this magazine and reach your customers anywhere in the cosmos.
