Welcome! My name is Tiffany Tupps and I am 30 years old. This will be my first year teaching and I am extremely excited! I am married, have two dogs and one cat. I was born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee. I received my Associate of Science in Teaching from Pellissippi State Community College and then received my Bachelor’s Degree through Tennessee Technological University in K-6 Elementary Education.

I am an educator that believes all children can learn. That they do not learn at the same pace or in the same way. It is my responsibility to meet each child’s individual needs and to provide the tools and assistance that will allow them to reach their full potential.

My Philosophy of Education:

There has never been a time or generation that needed great teachers more than the current one. With the exponential rise of technology, the constant stream of communication, and the new global landscape that we live in, having a guiding hand for our children has never been so important. The constant bombardment of information upon their young minds needs to be tempered and judged by basic skills in reading, writing and math that quality teachers provide. These basic skills, the foundation of education, are sadly often lost in between the layers of constant information thrown at them. Teachers are there to demonstrate the need for these skills and to create an environment where they can thrive, setting in motion growth that will last a lifetime in a pupils mind.

There is no child that cannot be taught and every single one brought into this world deserves the respect of a great education. They deserve teachers that are enthusiastic and unwilling to compromise on teaching them, teachers that are rocks upon which the waves of ignorance crash harmlessly upon. Teachers that are students themselves, who with every single child taught learn a little bit more about the great calling that they have become a part of.

I firmly believe that there is nothing as important as the education of our youth. Sometimes, lost with the fog of current events and day to day struggles, some forget this fact, but great teachers never do. My teaching methods are always focused upon the individual needs of each student and are implemented with focus and enthusiasm. Often times it is just that little extra push that is needed to see the dawning of understanding upon their face.

By giving knowledge and a hunger for learning to young minds, teachers are giving students the greatest and most useful tool they will ever have, an education. Being a great teacher is the most rewarding experience that a person can have and I humbly, day by day, work to being just that.
