Tiffany wanted to be a teacher since elementary school. However, she found herself feeling burnt-out and tired of her subject, like myself. Her educational journey is filled with ups and downs that feel familiar to many teachers. Tiffany also discusses the need for more instructional and planning time; more focused standards; and true Professional Learning Communities (PLCs). Solutions to theses problems may be found in Singapore, where teachers are given 15 hours per week without students to plan in cooperative groups.
