Apryl Taylor MEd
Data-Informed Decision-Making
Apryl is a champion of turning rage into reason, combating burnout by empowering fellow educators.
In her work as a Social Studies Program Specialist for the Orange County, Florida Public Schools, Apryl sees her role in elevating and amplifying her staff and students as critical in the highly-charged political climate where she lives and works.
Apryl is data driven, modeling how to mine, interpret and utilize data in instructional and administrative decision-making. Her user-friendly framing of the topic, coupled with her approachable coaching style, makes her a favorite of colleagues in her district, nationally, and around the world.
Currently, Apryl is showcasing “Embracing the Whole Child: Extending the WELCOME MAT (Masterfully Agentic & Actionable Teachers)” as a new framework for helping all students to be healthy, safe, engaged, supported, challenged and successful.
Through her work, Apryl emphasizes turning frustration into purpose, while steering clear of toxic positivity. With over a decade of experience in curriculum, data analysis, and coaching, Apryl offers practical skills to boost morale and foster optimism in education.
