Tiffany refuses to give up on any child’s potential

Thank you all for supporting the New Leaders Giving Tuesday Campaign. Your donations support Tiffany, a principal in New York City.

Tiffany has always been interested in the work that is done “behind the scenes.” She knew there was a blueprint to running a school effectively, and is now gaining the knowledge on how to do this herself.

Tiffany first discovered her voice and love for helping children while working as a camp counselor, and then as a caseworker for a foster care agency. She entered the education field as a third grade teacher through the New York City Teaching Fellows program in 2001.

During her time in the classroom, Tiffany was particularly proud of her ability to help special education students pass the New York State exams. As a mother of a special-needs child herself, she frequently told her students’ parents that she would teach every one of her classes as if they were the talented and gifted class, and refused to give up on any child’s potential.

Tiffany believes that it is vastly important for everyone to have the same access to education. She says that “we are living in a global society and I feel that all children should have access to a quality education to help them compete in the world. As educators we are obligated to ensure that this work happens.”

Than you for supporting Tiffany and New Leaders!
