About Me!!
My name's Tiffany and I am an ODU junior studying history education and political science. I hope to one day teach high school history and government. I love to travel and feel that those experiances are far more valuable than any book or class can teach.

I'm a very hands on person and feel I learn better when thrown into something and able to work it out myself rather than lectured. This translates over to my teaching style...

Especially in History, making the subject material fun and interesting is important to have successful students. Also, having students actively participate in activities and projects makes them feel more engaged in the classroom. Student-centered learning in which students are involved in every phase of their education is an important aspect of teaching, as traditional and routine lecturing doesn’t encourage social and educational growth. I feel students can learn best from each other and when I am a teacher, I hope to encourage such learning and activities.
