Cameron Johnson-Taylor joined St. Charles High in the middle of 2021 as a paraprofessional. Now he’s working full time as a special education teacher.  Coming in with experience made people love and appreciate him.

“I want to be able to meet the youth and kids in this classroom, in this setting where they can have a better understanding,” he said. 

He feels becoming a Special ed teacher will help impact students because it’s better to be with kids one-on-one so they have better opportunities to ask questions and learn. Many different teachers have different ways of teaching and challenging students. 

“Learning a routine, learning how prepared you have to be, and being prepared has different definitions for each teacher, so I’m just trying to find out my niche,” Johnson-Taylor said. 

At St. Charles High we have a lot of different opportunities for teachers, like coaching. Johnson- Taylor is coaching as an Asst. Varsity football coach this season, as well as being a dad.

“Different hobbies outside of school are being a Dad to two beautiful girls ages 5 and 2. I also coach football,” Johnson-Taylor said.
