- 1. Tiffini D. Mason PERMANENT: 3060 Pebble Creek Lane Atlanta, GA 30349 404-964-8996 tiffinimason1@gmail.com SUMMARY: • 12 years of outstanding instructional experience • Broad-Field Science Certification • Innovative educational leader and mentor • Extensive experience with curriculum design and implementation of research based instructional practices that are aligned to state and national standards. • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills PERSONAL PHILOSPHY Education is the key that opens a fount of endless opportunities. I firmly believe that learning is a never-ending process. As our world changes, so should our knowledge base in an effort to adapt to those never ending variations. The pursuit of knowledge and excellence is a continuum that must never stop, and lowering your academic standards is never an option. Instead, you should inspire others to achieve in spite of the obstacles that life may present them and never accept failure because of those obstacles.
