Teaching Background
|
This is the start to my 24th year of teaching and my 14th at Whittier. Like Mary, I have an Early Childhood Education degree and a Master’s in Elementary Ed. Before moving to Boulder, I taught in private schools in Boston, St. Louis (my hometown; Go Cardinals!). I also taught in Singapore at the Singapore American School. I’ve taught Kindergarten through 5th grade, and have experience as a Literacy specialist and TAG coordinator. While my girls were little, I enjoyed being a CU supervisor for student teachers. In my free time, I enjoy, backpacking, snowboarding, running, scrapbooking, and playing golf. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Teaching Background |
I officially retired after 26 years with BVSD at the end of the 2006-2007 school year. During the 2007-2008 school year I will be working at Whittier teaching literacy part time. This will be my 7th year teaching at Whittier. Previously, I taught literacy for two years at Whittier followed by four years teaching kindergarten. Before teaching at Whittier,
I taught first grade for 18 years at Aurora 7 Elementary School, in Boulder.
My first two years of teaching were at Crest View Elementary. My interests outside of teaching
include playing golf, reading, traveling, and spending time with my family. |

Tiffany works in classrooms across the country modeling lessons and guiding teachers on how to incorporate writing and the comprehension strategies throughout the curriculum.
