Tiffany Taylor of Heritage High School in Rogers, AR, was named the 2018 National PhysTEC Teacher of the Year. The selection committee noted her recruitment efforts and increase in enrollment of students in AP Physics 1 and 2, from only 26 students in her first year of teaching, to over 80 students in recent years. Tiffany places emphasis on using evidence-based teaching techniques such as Modeling Instruction, and helps students develop a growth mindset by using Standards Based Grading and regular formative assessment. Over 40% of her students are typically underrepresented groups in physics (including females and Hispanic populations), and she pays close attention to ensuring that all students feel welcome in her class. Tiffany is a leader in her field, and supports pre-service teachers from the University of Arkansas as they prepare for student teaching. She has also been recognized by the AP community and serves as an online professional development provider. As part of her award, she received funds to attend the 2018 AAPT Summer Meeting in Washington, DC, and the 2019 PhysTEC Conference in Boston, MA, where she received public recognition for her achievements. We are proud to recognize Tiffany and the local PhysTEC Teachers of the Year for their outstanding contributions to education.
