Middle School Science Teacher Earns Excellence Award

This treasurer of the Connecticut Science Teachers Association and the Connecticut Science Supervisors Association has helped her Middletown students participate in Project O and Bioblitz.

Tiffany Haley, a seventh-grade teacher at Woodrow Wilson Middle School, will receive the “Excellence in Middle School Science Teaching Award” Wednesday in New Haven.

This is her second year in Middletown after teaching for five years in Los Angeles. "I am so excited, and I feel so lucky to work in Middletown," Haley told Middletown Patch.

She is the Content Seminar Specialist for new science teachers in the Teach For America program. In this role she provides new teacher support and training for the Teach For America science teachers in Hartford, New Haven, and Bridgeport.

Haley just completed her sixth year at St. Joseph's College of West Hartford, specializing in multiple intelligence theory and art integration.

This treasurer of the Connecticut Science Teachers Association and the Connecticut Science Supervisors Association has assisted in her students participating in Project O and Bioblitz.

During the summer, she enjoys participating in Earthwatch research projects. She has received three grants for helping with research on sea otters in Alaska, herbivores in South Africa, and Hawksbill turtles in Australia. The CSTA/CSSA Award Banquet is our annual celebration of excellence.   

The banquet takes place Wednesday, beginning with a reception at Yale's Peabody Museum and followed by dinner and awards at the New Haven Lawn Club.
