LifeChanger of the Year

Tiffani Allwardt was nominated by her colleague, Karen Stults.

"Tiffani is a LifeChanger for our students. I have never worked with a teacher who has as much enthusiasm for her students as she does," said Stults. "Even if she is having a bad day, you would never know because she never lets it affect her work. We started out this school year in a hybrid learning environment, and she goes above and beyond and spends hours and hours of her own time to have in-person lesson plans ready for our students. She also plans virtual lessons, which is twice the work."

"We have now returned to all-virtual learning, and I know she's exhausted trying to find things for the students to do. Every single morning when we have our meeting with our students, however, she greets every one of them and finds out how their day was and what they did the night before," said Stults. "She also spends a lot of her own money to buy teacher resources online so that we can have the best resources available."

Tiffani is one off the most hardworking individuals I’ve met. The amount of passion and dedication that I witnessed while she was working toward her teaching degree would hard to be matched by anyone. I know that she is a fantastic teacher now and she will only grow to be an even better version of herself, because she’s never going to quit or give up.

I cannot say enough of how much our daughter has put forth in her short career already as a special education teacher. Her passion and enthusiasm is spectacular.
