High school math teacher, and Teach Better Team’s Director of Curriculum Design, Tiffany Ott, shares how her shift to working with teachers has changed how she introduces herself, why she’s excited about where education is heading, and how you can affect change regardless of how new you are to teaching.
Tiffany encourages us all to stand up and fight for what we believe is right for our students, focus on building relationships with our students AND our colleagues, and to never lose who we are and why we’re here.
