About Tiffoni

My strengths include patience, a dedication to my profession, being a team player with exceptional communication skills, and having a tenacious spirit who strives for excellence in student achievement through differentiated instruction. I believe in giving students real-world experiences through hands- on activities in which they will retain for future application. Knowing the real-world application of a concept enables students to make a connection to what they are learning. I believe in being a model and mentor to my students, which will enable my students to become productive leaders in our society. Being a reflective practitioner is an immense part of my teaching practice. I believe in reflecting on my strengths and weaknesses to improve my teaching practices for student success. I analyze student progress through formal and informal progress monitoring assessments, which enables me to devise lesson plans and activities to increase student success. The progress monitoring assessment data I utilize enables me to hone in on my students’ strengths and weakness, which ultimately drives my instruction. The parent -teacher partnership is an essential part of my practice. Parents are most aware of their child's strengths and weaknesses. It is essential to include parents in the educational process to maximize the child's educational experience. I believe in being in constant communication with parents to inform them of their child's progress. Last but not least, I feel learning should be FUN!
