Our 2nd Educator Spotlight is shining brightly on Ms. Tiffany Chan. Known for her kindness, warmth, and noteworthy patience, Ms. Chan is a well-loved teacher at Deptford Middle School. She started her career in education as a 6th grade teacher at Oak Valley Elementary School, then moved over to DMS with the entire 6th grade a few years ago, bringing her passion and math expertise with her. This is her 11th year teaching 6th grade math. She has a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Elementary Education with a middle school math specialization for grades 5-8. While she spends her days teaching, prepping, grading, communicating with parents, checking email, and planning, her true magic lies in her ability to make meaningful connections with her students. Her absolute favorite part of teaching? Watching her 6th graders expand their math minds. She takes pride in turning "I'm not a math person" into "Hey, this is actually fun!" Her teaching mentor is Mrs. Shannon Pizzuta, whom she co-taught with for 8 years! She learned so much from Mrs. Pizzuta’s enthusiasm in the classroom. Together, they were a dynamic duo who created many unforgettable memories for their students. Outside of school, Ms. Chan loves crafting and bringing creative projects to life with her hands. She is also a valuable part of the Deptford Education Association PEP Squad and can often be found volunteering at special events for our students. She is a shining example of a Deptford educator, and if you or your child was lucky enough to have her as a teacher, we know you will agree!
