Ludlow-Taylor takes a students-centered approach to instruction. Our goal is to encourage inquiry, creativity and a love of learning from our Reggio inspired early childhood program through 5th grade. We aim to maximize outcomes academically, socially, and physically. We are a 2016 National Blue Ribbon School. Our recently renovated indoor and outdoor spaces are among the best that DCPS has to offer.
Principal Shaunte Daniel's Message
|
I have invested my entire career in education for the students and families of DC Public Schools. I made my way in 2011 as an instructional aide for a short time before transitioning to teaching, and then serving as an instructional coach. Simultaneously, I continued to expand my knowledge by enrolling and completing a Masters degree in teaching from Trinity Washington University and I am now a cohort member in the Georgetown University Leadership & Innovation Program.
I have committed the last four years to being an Assistant Principal at both Langley ES and Stanton ES. At Langley, I played an integral role in doubling PARCC scores in both ELA and math. At Stanton, I poured myself into increasing strong systems, building community and developing teacher capacity. I have a strong passion and find purpose in providing meaningful and authentic educational experiences for students. I believe students will transform when given avenues to promote their potential. My drive has resulted in a rise of academic performance for students, increased family engagement, improved school culture and instructional transformation. I continue my efforts to inspire and teach while building a platform to learn and develop. |
