Tiffany Jattan

Welcome to Mrs. Jattan’s 5th Grade Math and Science class! It is going to be an EPIC year full of fun and learning!

My Teaching Philosophy:

To me, learning is about the experiences that we bring to the classroom. Students are more likely to remember what they have learned when they are excited about the content. It is my mission to help students  grow by incorporating those experiences into each lesson, each and every day. 

About Me: 

I have been in the classroom since 2017 after receiving my Master’s in Teaching from UNC Charlotte. I also have a degree in Social Work and prior to teaching, worked as a Permanency Planning Social Worker with Child Protective Services for over 10 years. 

I have a wonderful husband of over 18 years and 2 children who also attend PCCS. In my spare time, I love to travel both within the US and abroad and enjoy visiting places that have a rich history.
