Thank you all for supporting the New Leaders Giving Tuesday Campaign. Your contributions support Tiffany, the principal of an elementary/middle school in Baltimore, Maryland.

As a high school student, Tiffany interned with The Children’s Guild and had the opportunity to work with a classroom of socio-emotionally disadvantaged five year-old children. This experience marked the beginning of her love for working with children and she has pursued a career in education ever since.

Prior to joining New Leaders, Tiffany served as an instructional coach, working with grades pre-kindergaten through five. During her first placement at one of the lowest performing schools in Baltimore, her 5th-graders went from 25 percent to 71 percent proficiency on the mathematics portion of the Maryland State Assessment.

Tiffany decided to become a school leader because she can drive instruction as well as set the tone for a culture of achievement within her school. She completed the Emerging Leaders Program last year.

Thank you for supporting underserved students, Tiffany, and New Leaders.
