ABOUT TIFFANEE
Tiffanee M. Brown is an experienced Concept-Based educator and a teacher-leader in her school district. As a Dr. H. Lynn Erickson and Dr. Lois A. Lanning Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction Presenter and Trainer, she facilitates professional learning, collaborates with districts at both the regional and international levels, and serves as a thought-partner for teachers around the world. Holding National Board Certification in English language arts and a MS in Special Education, Tiffanee is an endorsed literacy, social studies, humanities, and special education teacher with a deep understanding of what it takes to bring Concept-Based learning to life in the classroom.
Dr. Lois A. Lanning's Designing a Concept-Based Curriculum for English Language Arts (2013, Corwin) forever changed Tiffanee's perspective on teaching and learning, and set her passion for transforming literacy instruction in motion. She is thrilled to be the co-author, with Dr. Lanning, of Concept-Based Literacy Lessons: Designing Learning to Ignite Understanding and Transfer to support other teachers as they strive to engage the hearts and minds of students.
Tiffanee has contributed examples and resources to several recent books published by Corwin including, Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction for the Thinking Classroom, 2nd Edition (Erickson, Lanning, and French, 2017), Concept-Based Inquiry in Action (Marshall and French, 2018) and Measuring Human Return (McEachen and Kane, 2018).
Before transitioning to her current position as a district level consultant teacher on the Teaching and Learning team for a public school in Washington State, Tiffanee taught an inclusive English language arts class, social studies, reading interventions, service learning, leadership, and various other elective classes. She is the recipient of numerous educator grants.
Tiffanee and her husband currently live in Washington with their two very active children. When she is not taking her kids to soccer tournaments, or basketball games, she enjoys reading, gardening, snow skiing, traveling, and pretty much anything else outdoors.
